For those that are alone on Thanksgiving, are their particular movies that you watch to overcome the possible sadness of being by yourself?

Of course, I'm asking for a friend.....well, an EX friend since he doesn't have anybody.

I love watching movies by myself. In fact, I’m kinda excited about the wife saying she’s going to bed early tonight leaving me a few hours of binging Narcos all by lonesome. One of my favorite movie watching experiences was when my wife and kids went out of town and I watched Wolf of Wall Street while eating junk food and drinking alcohol.

So I say take advantage of the solitude and watch something fun.

Planes, trains, and automobiles.

You wanna hurt me? Go right ahead if it makes you feel any better. I'm an easy target. Yeah, you're right, I talk too much. I also listen too much. I could be a cold-hearted cynic like you... but I don't like to hurt people's feelings. Well, you think what you want about me; I'm not changing. I like... I like me. My wife likes me. My customers like me. 'Cause I'm the real article. What you see is what you get.

Those aren't pillows!!

One of the best Thanksgivings I ever had was staying home alone drinking and watching b&w movies all day.

I drink and play video games, same as any other day. Holidays are meaningless.

Doesn't really have to do with getting over sadness but I will always enjoy watching Godfather I & II.

Yeah I can either take my wife to a late movie tonight, or let her go to bed early so I can watch Last Kingdom in peaceful solitude. Easy choice.

Don’t have first-hand experience on the alone aspect but I’d watch shite like Braveheart or Hunt For Red October to get my mind off of the holidays.

Been alone on thanksgiving for 12ish years now. Dad and brother both passed away unexpectedly a couple years apart in 2004 and 2006 and the whole family fell apart. I always laugh at people who bitch and complain about how their families get on their nerves during the holidays. Or any time for that matter. Lots of folks take family for granted.

You need to add a block of cheese to that repertoire Costanza!

If "you're" alone, watch The Haunting of Hill House on Netflix.

Just get shitfaced and watch sports and in between goofy shite like super troopers, forgetting Sarah Marshall, Old School, Wedding Crashers, Happy Gilmore, Hot rub time machine and the waterboy.

Or binge watch shows like trailer park boys, always sunny in Philadelphia, rick and morty, chapelles show or the office.
