Well, Thanksgiving week is upon us and now it's time to look back on the best Thanksgiving movies to celebrate in our Movie of the Day series. Unfortunately there are only a handful of really good ones, and I'm pretty much going to name all of them for this week alone. I'm not sure what the reason for that is, but movies about Thanksgiving are much harder to come by than say, Christmas next month. But we'll start with this one, one of Woody Allen's best, about three sisters in New York (Mia Farrow, Dianne Wiest and Barbara Hershey), who can't seem to get their lives together. The movie starts and ends on Thanksgiving, and ends up being one of Allen's sweetest and most optimistic films. My favorite of the sisters is Dianne Wiest, who won Best Supporting Actress for this, and Michael Caine is hilarious as a philandering husband, who also took home Best Supporting Actor.
