A rare Thanksgiving movie in a sea of Xmas movie porn, this is straight up my all-time fave holiday movie. I saw it in the theater back in 1995, and it has stayed with me all thee years.

The second directorial effort by Jodie Foster, starring the insane ensemble cast of Holly Hunter, Robert Downey Jr., Anne Bancroft, Charles Durning, Geraldine Chapman, Dylan McDermott, Claire Danes, Cynthia Stevenson, and Steve Guttenberg.

We follow a normal American family during a dysfunctional time for three days - the day before, the day of, and the morning after. Way ahead of its time in tackling issues of political divide, LGBTQ+, single motherhood, and more. It was not a box office success, but has since found its very fervent fans.

Special thanks to George Nordahl for turning us onto the Limnio grape/wine! You can read all of George's write up and follow him on Substack:
