~ FReeper Canteen ~
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Troops, Veterans, Allies, and to your family members. Thank you for allowing us all to celebrate a day to give Thanks! |
Welcome to the Canteen!
We're going to revisit an old question, but give it a more holiday twist. Since most of you will have Thanksgiving off and perhaps even Friday as well, here's our question:
What are the best movies for the holiday? The best family movie that can be enjoyed by everyone? The best thriller for those who need suspense? The best comedy movie for those who need a laugh? The best movie based on a real life person or event? Once again, from all of us at the Canteen:
We wish everyone a safe and happy Thanksgiving week!
