Your discussion about Thanksgiving themed movies made me remember Scent of a Woman. Although it was set over the Thanksgiving holiday it probably wasn’t particularly central to the theme, rather it was a plot device to tell the story of the two main characters. Ps, I also love Uncle Buck!

Uncle Buck is very popular with us as well. (I’m actually suprised it hasn’t been covered yet.) John Candy was so great in PTA and Uncle Buck. I miss him more and more as I get older.

Hi Chad, I think you guys should definitely put it on your review list. I get you, a terrible loss of a talented decent man.
