My favorite film to watch during Thanksgiving is Frank Capra's "Arsenic and Old Lace". It stars Carey Grant, Peter Lord, and Raymond Massey. Mortimer Brewster played by Grant returns home from his honeymoon to find out that his two aunts have poisoned their neighbors and buried them in the cellar. The same night his convict brother Jonathan visits the home after he escaped from prison and gets a botched plastic surgery where he resembles Boris Karloff. Mortimer also has another brother who thinks he's Teddy Roosevelt This film is one of the darkest comedies for it's time, even today. My other Thanksgiving favorites are The Bible: In the beginning, and The Big Country starring Gregory Peck and Burl Ives. Burl Ives was outstanding as the rival to a affluent rancher Major Terrill played by Charles Buckford. Ives had great one liners like "If you ain't the Mother and Father of all liers". My favorite is "Teach your Grandmother to Suck Eggs".
