10 Best Shopping Scenes in Movies

ComingSoon.net has determined some of the best shopping scenes in cinematic history. Check out our picks below!

Millions of shoppers storm stores on Black Friday and warm up their trigger fingers for Cyber Monday. However, some of us will be staying home and pinching pennies—we’ve seen enough elaborate shopping montages—which we’ve tried to reenact in real life—to know that sometimes money is best left unspent. Conversely, some have cleared their schedules to go on said shopping sprees and might need mood-setting scenes filled with card swipes, dressing rooms, makeovers, and shopping bags. In honor of these two days of retail madness, we’ve rounded up the best shopping scenes in movies.

RELATED: The 10 Best Thanksgiving Episodes of Television

Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961)

One of the most iconic opening shopping scenes of all-time sees Holly Golightly (Audrey Hepburn) window-shopping in front of Tiffany’s on Fifth Avenue in New York.

Home Alone (1990)

Who can forget 8-year-old Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) experience being home alone? As the man of the house, Kevin took it upon himself to go grocery shopping (and using coupons), rising suspicion from the checkout clerk. Unfortunately, also experienced the downside of choosing plastic over paper. 

Check-Out Woman:

Are you here all by yourself?

Kev:

Ma’am, I’m 8 years old. You think I would be here ALONE? I don’t think so.

Superbad (2007)

When two inseparable best friends go shopping for jeans, Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera), it’s the latter’s responsibility to tell the former that those jeans are “way too tight…” Male camel-toe aside.

Crazy, Stupid Love (2011)

Hot off of a divorce and new to the singles club, Cal (Steve Carell) enlists the help of ladies man Jacob (Ryan Gosling) to get back in the game (or rather Jacob insists). Jacob takes Cal shopping for a new wardrobe, telling him to “be better than the GAP!”

Pretty Woman (1990)

Wealthy businessman Edward (Richard Gere) hires a hooker, Vivian (Julia Roberts) to spend the weekend with him. In one of the all-time great changing room montages, Vivian hits Rodeo Drive where shopping assistants judge her before she undergoes an epic fashion transformation set to that titular song.

Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

Confessions of a Shopaholic sees Isla Fisher’s Rebecca Bloomwood shop a bunch throughout its run time. That said, many scenes could make this list. The most memorable involves a sample sale during which Rebecca sets her eyes on a pair of Gucci boots, wrestling them away from another shopper.

Big (1988)

While messing around at a toy store, Tom Hanks’ Josh Baskin (12-year-old in a 30-year-old body) meets Mr. MacMillan (Robert Loggia), the owner of a toy company. The two end up playing Chopsticks on a giant electronic keyboard in one of the most memorable scenes in movie history (and Josh ends up scoring a job as a toy tester).

Elf (2003)

After just traveling from the North Pole to New York City, Will Ferrell’s Buddy visits the mall for the first time. Needless to say, escalators are a mystery to him and Gimbles toy store is the most exciting thing ever.

Commando (1985)

Determined to thwart the villains and rescue his daughter (Alyssa Milano), retired Special Forces soldier John Matrix (Arnold Schwarzenegger) makes a pit stop (using a bulldozer) at a local department store. He grabs the necessities—some clothes, a knife, guns, and a rocket launcher.

Wonder Woman (2017)

After American pilot Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) tells Diana (Gal Gadot) about WWI and takes her to England, the princess of the Amazons tries on 226 outfits before finding the right one to replace her Amazonian gear (sword and shield non withstanding).

The 10 Coolest Native Americans in Film

ComingSoon.net has picked some of the coolest Native American characters in cinematic history. Check out our picks below!

When you see a Native American character on the big screen, you make note of it. When it comes to representation in Hollywood, Native Americans have gotten the short end of the stick… sort of like they did with that whole colonization thing. That said, the least a listicle can do is pay homage to the best crime fighters, historical figures, superheroes, or otherwise stereotypical Native American characters to grace the silver screen. The following are our picks for the coolest and most memorable Native Americans in film.

RELATED: Between the World and Me to Stream for Free This Thanksgiving Weekend

Gary Farmer as Nobody in ‘Dead Man (1995)’

Nobody both subverts and adheres to your expectations. As a Native American, he’s very spiritual and serves as William Blake’s (Johnny Depp) introduction to Native American culture (as well as the spiritual world). However, it is revealed that Nobody was captured and taken to England where he received a formal education. Therefore, he knows all about the white man’s culture and aims to find harmony between Native American and “western” culture. He rejects all of the Native American stereotypes established in popular culture and epitomizes the philosophical complexities of Dead Man. 

Russell Means as Chingachgook in ‘The Last of the Mohicans (1992)’

The titular The Last of the Mohicans. Chingachgook is the father of Uncas and, like the latter, is proud of his heritage. He’s also known as Les Gros Serpent AKA “The Great Snake” due to his innovative intelligence.

Adam Beach as Slipknot in ‘Suicide Squad (2016)’

As far as superheroes/supervillains go, you probably don’t think a rope/knot expert who’s skilled at climbing would be the most imposing force but Slipknot is pretty cool, at least in the comics—an ex-chemist who develops a formula for extra durable ropes and an expert fighter (with heightened abilities). Unfortunately, 2016’s Suicide Squad cut Slipknot’s backstory/exposure due to time constraints and had Captain Boomerang trick him into getting killed by an implanted nano-bomb relatively early. 

Will Sampson as Chief Bromden in ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest (1975)’

In the books, Chief Bromden AKA “Chief Broom” (because he sweeps the halls), is the narrator of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest—he’s more of the main character than McMurphy. The novel is a story about the hospital and its occupants as well as Bromden’s exploration of his sanity and journey towards becoming fully communicative (not just uttering “juicy fruit.” In the movie, Jack Nicholson’s McMurphy is central to everything. Still, he’s an important, unforgettable (and cool) secondary character. 

Graham Greene as Kicking Bird in ‘Dances with Wolves (1990)’

Graham Greene received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor portraying Kicking Bird, the Lakota-Sioux medicine man, in 1990’s Dances with Wolves. As the foster-father of Stands With Fist (John Dunbar’s love interest), Kicking Bird’s approval carries an inimitable weight in regards to the tribe and story. His rapport with Dances with Wolves’ protagonist is some of the most memorable in the film. 

Sonny Landham as Billy Sole in ‘Predator (1987)’

Billy Sole is one of the mercenaries in Dutch’s (Arnold Schwarzenegger) team that runs into the Predator during a rescue mission in Guatemala. He’s an expert tacker who dies in hand-to-hand combat (armed only with a machete) with the Predator. It doesn’t get cooler than that.

Irene Bedard as Pocahontas in ‘Pocahontas (1995)’

Everyone knows Pocahontas. The titular protagonist of the 1995 Disney animation is the first Disney Princess to be based on an actual person (albeit embellished). She’s the daughter of Chief Powhatan who leads a Native American tribe in Virginia. After falling in love with settler John Smith, Pocahontas aims to bring about peace between the settlers and natives, ultimately risking her life to save Smith. Pocahontas’ character model was inspired by voice actress Irene Bedard, who also happens to be Native American.

Litefoot as Little Bear in ‘The Indian in the Cupboard (1995)’

Omri’s (Hal Scardino) brave Native American toy that comes to life after being locked inside the magic cupboard.

Lou Diamond Phillips as Jose Chavez y Chavez in ‘Young Guns (1988)’

The twenty-something outlaw of Mexican-American and Native-American heritage and famous outlaw and cohort of Billy The Kid (Emilio Estevez), joining the Lincoln County Regulators in the war that lasted from 1878 to 1879.

Graham Green as Walter Crow Horse in ‘Thunderheart (1992)’

The reservation police officer (played again by the inimitable and underappreciated Graham Green with an extra amount of swagger) who views FBI agent Ray Levoi (Val Kilmer) as an outsider.

Most Memorable Thanksgiving Feasts in Film

ComingSoon.net has determined some of the memorable Thanksgiving feasts in cinematic history. Check out our picks below!

Every Thanksgiving dinner is unique to the people and places hosting it. In the Midwest, they eat green bean casserole, cranberry relish in the Northeast, and fried turkey in Texas. The characters in movies have just as much effect on the circumstances of the feast as we do. Many scenes in cinema have been dedicated to the aforementioned meal. Some are dramatic, funny, and others are so awkward that they’ll give you déjà vu. Regardless, they’re memorable. These are some of the most memorable Thanksgiving feasts in film.

Pieces of April (2003)

For us spectators (who have never been charged with cooking a Thanksgiving meal), the culinary arts can be intimidating. In Pieces of April, Katie Holmes’ April Burns invites her estranged/emotionally distant family to her low-rent New York City Apartment for Thanksgiving. As an inexperienced cook, April drops the turkey, breaks the oven, and succumbs to asking her neighbor for help. It’s a nightmare, capturing all our fears. However, director Peter Hedges has said that every dish that his protagonist makes has appeared on his dinner table. Heartwarming, relatable, and timely. 

Spider-Man (2002)

Who can forget the tense Thanksgiving at Peter Parker and Harry Osburn’s apartment? Mary Jane, Aunt May, and Norman Osburn were there, the latter moonlighting as the Green Goblin. After a spat with the Goblin, Spider-Man AKA Peter shows up late to Thanksgiving dinner with a war wound. As Norman begins carving the massive Turkey, he notices the cut on Peter’s forehand (who says a bike messenger clipped him), putting two and two together (among other things).

Avalon (1990)

Avalon follows the immigrant Krichinsky clan as they settle in early 20th century Baltimore. Portrayed in this (based largely on director Barry Levinson’s family history) film are the cultural and generational gaps that existed in its respective period, a time when everyone lived near one another and ate dinner together every night/day. The Thanksgiving meal in Avalon reflects this— generations sitting side by side as they contemplate/aspire towards the American Dream. 

Funny People (2009)

Like almost all Judd Apatow movies (or at least the best ones), Funny People walks the tightrope between comedy and drama. Perhaps no scene accentuates this better than George Simmons’ (Adam Sandler) Thanksgiving toast. Surrounded by a plethora of “funny people” at the table including characters played by Jonah Hill, Seth Rogan, Aubrey Plaza, and Jason Schwartzman, Sandler talks about impermanence, friendships and how someday, we’ll look back on this as the most memorable Thanksgiving ever. 

Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987)

John Hughes knew how to pull at the audience’s heartstrings (while simultaneously making them laugh) and Planes, Trains and Automobiles is his Magnum Opus (well, one of them). The film follows control freak Neal Page (Steve Martin) as he tries to get home to Chicago and spend Thanksgiving with his family. Unfortunately, a snowstorm delays his flight, and he is forced to spend his layover with the talkative Del Griffith (John Candy). While the bulk of the film is about the time they spend together overcoming the various holiday travel shenanigans, perhaps the film’s most memorable (and poignant) moments comes at the end—when Neal realizes that Del has no family to go home to (having lost his wife years prior), prompting Neal to invite Del to Thanksgiving. We might not see the feast but we can picture Del at the table. 

The Blind Side (2009)

The Blind Side is based on the true story of football star Michael Oher (Quinton Aaron), a homeless black teen who’s taken in by Tuohy (Sandra Bullock) and her husband Sean (Tim McGraw). Unfamiliar with family gatherings (let alone Thanksgiving), Michael’s reaction to this Thanksgiving meal puts things in perspective for all those unappreciative of the love and delicious grub (seen in the cover photo) that surrounds us annually. 

Scent of a Woman (1992)

Poor old Charlie (Chris O’Donnell) is tasked with babysitting Col. Slade (Al Pacino) over Thanksgiving break. During Slade’s farewell tour in New York (unbeknownst to Charlie), the pair make a visit to Slade’s brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. While there, Slade agitates everyone by telling inappropriate/provocative stories until a physical altercation occurs. Clearly, Slade and his family are estranged (understatement) and don’t want the Col. there in the first place. Thanksgiving is ultimately ruined, resulting in one of the most uncomfortable dinners in cinematic history and one we’ll never forget.

Home For The Holidays (1995)

Home for the Holidays follows single mother Claudia Larson who travels home alone for a holiday dinner with her family. The Thanksgiving dinner features a disgusting, burned turkey and a beautiful one, made by Claudia’s sister (Cynthia Stevenson). On top of all the dysfunction is Claudia’s unforgettable declaration, “it’ll be OK if we stuff ourselves until we can’t think anymore.” Director Jodie Foster’s film used 65 birds and over a dozen pumpkin pies to shoot this dinner. 

The Ice Storm (1997)

Director Ang Lee’s The Ice Storm paints a disconcerting picture of the American family in the 1970s. Why is it upsetting? The Thanksgiving dinner, featuring a Mom, Dad, and two kids, is as mundane/bleak as one can imagine— salt shakers shaped like pilgrims and a prayer about massacred Indians. Depressing? Yes. Memorable? Yes. 

A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving (1973)

Although A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is technically a television special and not a film, a holiday is not complete without the Peanut gang. Charlie forgets the turkey and instead serves buttered toast, chips, popcorn, pretzel sticks, and cherries. It’s exactly the kind of Thanksgiving dinner one would expect from kids and a dog prepare it unsupervised—sweet and perfectly bizarre.
