In of the winter movie cycle, Thanksgiving is a great time to get caught up.

You have a couple of days off, are probably stuffed with, er, stuffing, and want to be prepared for the Christmas movie onslaught that is just around the corner, when both want to watch Netflix instead, we've got that covered, too.

'Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald'

"Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," 2016's ambitious but somewhat confusing fantasy romp that was supposed to serve as an extension of the lucrative Warner Bros. franchise but instead was kind of just huh? Well, they made another one! And this one is much better.

With Newt Scamander (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald."

'Widows'

Given the pedigree, it's very clear that "Cynthia Erivo) who are forced into a sticky situation when their criminal husbands are killed in a heist-gone-wrong.

Directed by Academy Award-winner Steve McQueen and co-written by Ocean's 8" it is not.

'The Favourite'

This is the time of year when the studios unleash their stuffy period movies and, yes, there are even a few of those this year. But "The Favourite" is not one of them.

Rambunctious, sexy, and unpredictable, it's the antithesis of every boring costume drama that they throw Oscars at with willful abandon. This is electrically alive in a way few films, period or otherwise, ever are, anchored by a trio of brilliant female performers (Yorgos Lanthimos). Set during the reign of Queen Anne (Colman) in the early part of the 18th century, it features palace intrigue, love triangles, and people getting pushed into muddy ditches. What more do you want?

'Ralph Breaks the Internet'

In the sequel to the hit 2012 animated film, Ralph (the Disney Princesses show up. As you can imagine, it's a lot of fun.

"Ralph Breaks the Internet" is one of those rare family sequels that won't leave you with a toothache from it being so sweet, there's actual pathos and emotionality but nothing feels syrupy or forced and it's honestly one of the most visually ravishing animated features you're ever likely to see.

'Green Book'

Up until this point, Viggo Mortensen.

In the film. Ali plays Don Shirley, a classical pianist, who hires New York tough guy Tony Vallelonga (Mortensen) to escort him on a tour of the South. This could be the feel-good movie of the fall, which makes it a perfect after-Thanksgiving family outing.

'Creed II'

Finally. The follow-up to 2015's brilliant "Creed" is now upon us. Let us give thanks.

In "Sylvester Stallone) is still around! So there's that. Hopefully the sequel builds on the intensity and excitement of the first film, while supplying some new wrinkles as well. We can already feel ourselves getting inspired.

'Roma'

Yes, "Roma" is a Netflix movie. But in a rare move, the streaming service is debuting the movie in theaters first, before it hits the platform in mid-December. And, really, you should do everything in your power to see it on the big screen. In fact, try and see it on the biggest screen possible. Because this movie is absolutely jaw dropping.

An epic on a miniature scale, the highly autobiographical film from "Alfonso Cuaron follows a middle-class family in Mexico City in the early 1970s dealing with heartache, political upheaval, and the day-to-day domestic drama that every family deals with. What makes this story even more captivating is that it's told through the eyes of the family's housekeeper Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio, giving one of the year's best performances even though she's not a professional actor). You have to see this with an audience in a theater. It just won't be the same on your iPad.

'Overlord'

If your family is really annoying you over Thanksgiving, it might be time to watch a little more muscular movie at the multiplex. Perhaps something like "Overlord," a high-concept World War II romp that features thrills, chills, and the cathartic experience of watching sweaty hunks brutally murder Nazis.

Conceived by mystery box magnate Jovan Adepo and Wyatt Russell) parachute into to take down a radio tower on the eve of D-Day and wind up finding a gnarly zombie conspiracy. You know, that old story. But there are some definite grindhouse pleasures to be had as Nazis get shot, blown-up, and lit on fire and then come back from the dead to do it all again.

'Bohemian Rhapsody'

Because who doesn't love Queen?
