Just a note in the spirit of the holiday season to mention my favorite Thanksgiving Eve movie. Every Wednesday before Thanksgiving I make a point out of watching the musical Oliver! I know the musical sentimentalizes several characters that Dickens portrayed in a sinister way in the book (especially Fagan and The Artful Dodger) but the finished product has always seemed very holidayish to me. Since Christmas has plenty of films that go with it I decided to make Oliver! the official Thanksgiving Eve flick in my eccentric little world.
