Thanksgiving 2015: Top 5 Movies to Catch This Weekend

There are a lot of things people should be thankful about, and one of which is the Thanksgiving holiday for giving everyone the long weekend to enjoy and spend with families and friends. Other than the usual Thanksgiving dinner and a little chitchat with members of the family that one probably hasn't seen since the last year's Holiday weekend, there is just nothing more to do but catch a movie at the nearest theater.

Here are some of the movies to watch during the holiday:

1. The Good Dinosaur

It's a movie from Pixar that all members of the family can enjoy, according to The Verge.
