What Blu(s) will you watch on the 4th of July? - Blu-ray Forum

Jmobie · 07-03-2009, 02:53 AM

Do have a tradition of watching a favorite movie or the same movie every year on the 4th? Do you watch war movies to celebrate patriotism? Do you watch movies that take place near or on the 4th of July?

From our family's collection, I think my parents and I will watch Live Free or Die Hard, and some episodes of Band of Brothers.

I would suppose other possibilities would Independence Day, The Patriot, and Black Hawk Down among others.

The Rock

neos_peace · 07-03-2009, 02:55 AM

perhaps ID4 but who knows i'm not known for being usual.

red_5ive · 07-03-2009, 03:01 AM

I do this every July 3rd:

The Patriot (I always start with this one)
The Rock
Live Free or Die Hard
Independence Day (I always end with this one)

I usually change up the middle 2, but I've included The Rock the last few years, and Live Free or Die Hard has become an all-time favorite of mine so this may be the menu for a while to come.

Independence Day

Ski31 · 07-03-2009, 03:03 AM

I won't be watching any blus. I will actually be watching a 2 disc DVD documentary about the Marines on Iwo Jima.... I get choked up every time I watch it

"The chances of a slice of bread falling buttered-side down is directly proportional to the price of the carpet."...........Hahahaha!

Rblu-Dblu · 07-03-2009, 03:06 AM

ooh. I will have to watch a standard def dvd so I can see Live Free or Die Hard.

It's the 4th of July, do you honestly think I will be sitting at home watching TV?

Elvis · 07-03-2009, 05:39 AM

If I watch any film it's Born of the Fourth of July! Twilight Zone marathon on Sci Fi Channel is good for all you people that did NOT vote it the best Sci Fi series of all time. You just might change your mind........ X Files ha!

Independence Day of course

got to see the aliens "dread locks" hanging out the back of the parachute

MrFilmFanatic · 07-03-2009, 01:40 PM

I plan on watching Live Free Or Die Hard and John Adams (I always watch Jaws and Jaws II even though they are not on Blu-ray yet).

KingLeonidas300 · 07-03-2009, 01:45 PM

Just go a delivery last night (Warlords, Saints and Soldiers, and North Face). I will probaly watch the last two unless I get any more delieverd today.

Zoraster · 07-03-2009, 02:17 PM

I'd toss in Patton. Will probably be wasted and far from the HT, however.

MaCruz · 07-03-2009, 02:28 PM

I think there was a thread like this on the off topic forum, but anyway if I had time.... ID4

Sgt Barone · 07-03-2009, 03:37 PM

Band of Brothers/John Adams

sfmarine · 07-03-2009, 04:24 PM

ID4...
The Patriot

I watched BOB on memorial day weekend. I just ordered John Adams so when that comes I'll be watching that.

ClaytonMG · 07-03-2009, 04:31 PM

Cloverfield

We watched ID4 last year. We like to watch giant popcorn blockbusters full of disaster for some reason...

Mr.White · 07-03-2009, 04:36 PM

Maybe "The Rock" in the afternoon, then a BBQ, then setting off the big bag of fireworks I bought a few months ago!(May it NOT rain!)

Chakizie · 07-03-2009, 04:37 PM

Exactly, party time with the drunk ladies at the beach

I love 4th of July
