Thursday is Thanksgiving, but it’s also the 55th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. The historic Texas Theatre — do we need to tell you that Lee Harvey Oswald was captured there? — shows “JFK” at 3 p.m., and the films showing on the day of the assassination,“War Is Hell” and “Cry of Battle,” start at 1:20 p.m. Admission for those two films costs the 1963 price of 90 cents.
