21 Friendsgiving Movies To Watch This Holiday, From 'Crossroads ' to 'Miss Congeniality'

Thanksgiving is upon us, and for some of us, that means meeting up with family for the holiday, while for others, Thursday will be a day surrounded by close friends. That, of course, is Friendsgiving, and for people who either live far from their families or just prefer to spend the day with their best pals, Thanksgiving is often the perfect time to bond with your close friends over a potluck meal. And then, of course, there's the entertainment; no Friendsgiving is complete without a bunch of Thanksgiving movies to watch with your BFFs.

Fo so many of us, much of Thursday will be spent putting endless amounts of food in our bellies, so there's no better way to spend the rest of the holiday watching some holiday classic movies with your friends. Want something cute, animated, and romantic? There's something for you. Or maybe your whole squad is in the need for a raunchy comedy? There's that, too. With so many different places to watch and stream movies like Netflix, YouTube, Hulu, iTunes, Google Play, Vudu, and Amazon Prime, you'll never be shot on ways to get your Thanksgiving entertainment in this holiday.

So, without further ado, here are 21 movies to watch during your festive Friendsgiving.
