If you need another reason to feel grateful about spending time with your families during the holidays, BLOCKBUSTER has a list of movies that will help you see it’s all relative this Thanksgiving Day. According to BLOCKBUSTER’s Dysfunctional Family Poll, “Nobody’s Fool,” featuring Paul Newman as Sully, a cranky, sarcastic patriarch whose son and grandson unexpectedly show up for Thanksgiving dinner tops the list as the most dysfunctional turkey day. A close second is “Planes, Trains & Automobiles,” which features Steve Martin struggling to get home for Thanksgiving while being unavoidably accompanied by the endlessly irritating shower curtain-ring salesman Del Griffith, played by John Candy.
Also, BLOCKBUSTER stores will be open on Thanksgiving, so you can pick up these titles and more for a fun-filled day of entertainment. There are also going to be unbeatable Black Thursday deals, including up to 50 percent off purchases of select new releases, discounted Blu-rays and $50 off select in-store Samsung Blu-ray players.
