Best July 4th Movies

[Snikt]

With the American holiday coming up, I thought it’d be fun to discuss your favorite July 4th films. Whether set on July 4, or they remind you of the holiday or set around the holiday, name them & talk about them here!

1) Obviously, we have to start with Independence Day. I think it’s fair to say it’s a bonafide “Classic” now. We watch it every July 4. Feels weird if we don’t.

2) Olympus Has Fallen. I really love the original film. July 4th feels like a perfect time to watch the film. Terrorists taking over the White House, and one man stands in their way. It’s corny, but still cool. And it was nice seeing Gerard Butler back in the action genre after years of chick flicks following “300.”

3) Men In Black. Just feels like a perfect July 4th holiday. Idk why, but it does.

4) Live Free or Die Hard. Actually set over the July 4th holiday. Nice seeing John McClane back in action for the first time since 1995!

Discuss away!
