Sam Longoria’s Thanksgiving Movies Guide

Rather than re-post my own list of Thanksgiving movies, as I've done in years past, I'll link to Sam Longoria's Thanksgiving movie memories:

Here's an odd Thanksgiving selection, but it has Thanksgiving significance for me. I remember Thanksgiving 1989. A bunch of us pale NW Evergreen animation people, at my pal Craig's Hollywood place for a nice dinner.

I helped Craig with his 2x4 16mm animation stand, and our friend Matt told us about his new animated segment for the "Tracey Ullman Show," a funny cartoon about Matt's family, growing up. A lot happened over the next 365 days. One year later, I watched Matt's creation, Bart of "The Simpsons," float by on tv, a balloon in the Macy's Parade. Surreal! (And now it's 20 years later. That's surreal, too).
