Happy Thanksgiving. With a valuable assist from Johann this past year, RBC film recommendations remain a regular feature of our website. I have been pleasantly surprised at the popularity of what started as a lark, and gratified that they lead at least some readers to rediscover old movies.
I last updated the RBC digest of film recommendations on Memorial Day, so the present holiday seemed a good time to bring the list up to date.
A digest of all the films we have reviewed is available here.
Happy viewing to all.

I’d be intrigued to see whether the RBC can compile a list of movies about, or taking place on, Thanksgiving…
Movie trivia round commence!
I will give two answers, the underrated Planes, Trains and Automobiles and the overrated Home for the Holidays.
Agreed that Planes, Trains & Automobiles is great — although Uncle Buck still remains my favourite John Hughes film.
I’ll put forward Rocky as my top Thanksgiving pick.
The classic Thanksgiving film is surely Addams Family Values.
For those inclined to cheat, there’s also a Wikipedia page. For example: I’d forgotten about Alice’s Restaurant!
