Thanksgiving is the best. Food, booze, family, football (in that order). The worst part by far of Thanksgiving is traveling to wherever said eats, drinks and entertainment take place. That’s why Planes Trains & Automobiles is the best Thanksgiving movie of all time. It’s funny because it’s true (sort of).

Join the Source for a screening of the 1987 classic staring Steve Martin and John Candy, written and directed by John Hughes.

If you can’t make it to the screening tomorrow, here’s a link to Charlie Brown’s Thanksgiving… 20 minutes of good ol’ fashioned holiday nostalgia.
