Feast on these options to break up Turkey Day

Wondering which movies to spend your money on this Thanksgiving (as political fights and old family squabbles compete for attention with the big brined bird)? We’re here for you! Behold, our viewing guide for whatever mood, or predicament, you may find yo

If you’re looking for one movie that every picky person will probably like: ‘Lady Bird’

Seriously, this is the coming-ofage movie of 2017. Lady Bird marks the directorial debut of Greta Gerwig (Frances Ha, Mistress America), and nails wha t it’s like for an angsty teenager (Saoirse Ronan) to rail against her mother (a stunning Laurie Metcalf) and everything she knows the year before she goes to college. Tell everyone you saw this future Oscar-worthy gem back when. USA TODAY score: ★★★g

If Ben Affleck and Gal Gadot meeting The Flash is enough for you: ‘Justice League’

If you’re looking for reasons to hate on Justice League, the Internet is here for you. However, if you’re a DC Comics fan who’s been waiting for the onscreen collision of The Flash (Ezra Miller, who everyone agrees steals this movie), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Superman (spoiler, Henry Cavill is back), Batman (Affleck) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa), then Justice League is for you!

USA TODAY score: ★★★☆

If you’ve got kids in tow, and want to experience all the feels: ‘Coco’

Disney and Pixar’s latest tale focuses on a young Mexican boy with a twofold mission: to grab his musical dreams and heal a familial rift. USA TODAY’s Brian Truitt calls Coco “Pixar’s best effort since 2015’s Inside

Out,” promising it will make you laugh and cry in equal doses. We recommend taking kids ages 7 and up.

If you want to see a best-picture contender: ‘Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri’

Frances McDormand is a powerhouse in Three Billboards, a dark comedy about a mother’s no-holdsbarred crusade to keep police focused on her daughter’s rape and murder. A timely film in Hollywood and across the nation, Three Billboards has been gaining in the Oscars race, and is on track to earn nominations for both McDormand and Sam Rockwell, who plays a racist cop. USA TODAY score: ★★★★

If you want to stream a best-picture contender: ‘Mudbound’

This year, you can watch an Oscar contender from the comfort of your living room. Netflix jumps into the awards game in a big way with Mudbound, a powerful racial drama juxtaposing the struggles of black and white families working the same rural Mississippi plot of land in the Jim Crow era. The cast is stellar, including Mary J. Blige, Carey Mulligan and Jason Mitchell.

If you want to see a superhero get his groove back: ‘Thor: Ragnarok’

While Thor (Chris Hemsworth) was always excellent comic relief in the Avengers franchise, he never really came into his own in his standalone films — until now. Under the direction of irreverent New Zealand director Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok insists that ticket buyers have a rollicking good time while a newly shorn god of thunder bandies about saving his home planet from a cranky tyrant (Jeff Goldblum). See it and you’ll leave in good humor. USA TODAY score: ★★★☆

If you need a reminder that goodness exists in this cold, cruel world: ‘Wonder’

Don’t be fooled into thinking the family-friendly Wonder is a schmaltz-fest. Led by parents played by Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson, the tale of a fifth grader (Jacob Tremblay) with severe facial irregularities who attempts public school for the first time will leave you on a tissue-grabbing, emotional high.

USA TODAY score: ★★★☆

If you want to see the best mustache of 2017: ‘Murder on the Orient Express’

Kenneth Branagh’s bushy ’stache might be the most entertaining part of this Agatha Christie adaptation. A stellar cast, including Michelle Pfeiffer and Johnny Depp, wasn’t enough to sway our critic, who called the film “surprisingly philosophical” for what’s supposed to be a pulse-racing whodunit. USA TODAY score: ★★☆☆

If literally anything is better than listening to your dad/uncle/brother/cousin go on about their new job/girlfriend/home renovation/diet plan: ‘Daddy’s Home 2’ or ‘A Bad Moms Christmas’

Sequels are what they are (i.e., usually not fantastic and specifically not here) but they’ll get you out of the house, whether you’re in the mood to see John Lithgow plant one on his screen son Will Ferrell or Mila Kunis deal with her semi-racist, hypercritical mom (Christine Baranski). USA TODAY score of “Bad Moms”: ★★☆☆

If the only thing you and your family agree on is that Denzel is always good: ‘Roman J. Israel, Esq.’

Critics are split over Washington’s new drama, in which he plays an activist lawyer who veers off the straight and narrow path. But one thing’s for sure: The Oscar winner delivers on his performance of a bespectacled legal savant whose bedside manner gets in the way of conventional success.
