Thanksgiving Movies, Light & Dark (Again)
      

Editor's note: About this time last year, longtime blogger and Encyclopaedia Britannica contributor Gregory McNamee offered up these musings about Thanksgiving movies. In the spirit of the season, we thought the post, and the movies it mentions---not a turkey among them---merit a fresh viewing.

And what does the film Casablanca have to do with the feast? Nothing, except that Michael Curtiz's cynical, smart, and hilarious classic debuted on Thanksgiving Day, 1942, in New York. It's been pleasing audiences for 66 years now, and anyone who loves films can cite it chapter and verse.

Now isn't that something to be thankful for?
