To make you grateful you do have siblings, and that they're relatively sane: The House of Yes (currently streaming on Netflix)
To make you grateful you're not on hosting duty (in a too-small apartment): Pieces of April (available to rent on Amazon)
To make you ungrateful summer camp Thanksgiving pageants aren't more of a thing: Addams Family Values (available to stream on Netflix, with the key scenes forever immortalized on YouTube)
To make you grateful for your straightlaced parents, who've never even heard of a "key party" (at least not that you know of): The Ice Storm (available to rent on Amazon)
