Every year about this time we have a few movies that we tend to re-watch (even though we watch them other times, too). Always, always, always "Independence Day," and often "The Patriot" and "Glory" and "Saving Private Ryan" and "We Were Soldiers." Definitely the first two, even if we don't get to the others (which we also watch around Memorial Day and Veterans Day.)
Do you have any patriotic stand-bys?

I love the movie "Avalon." It follows an immigrant family over time and the scenes are mostly 4th of July or Thanksgiving. It's patriotic in a different way from the ones you mentioned.

We did John Adams last night. Today we did Captain America (the first one), National Treasure. On Independence Day now . We thought we owned The Patriot but we don't and it's not on Netflix, bummer.

Oh I like this and am bored I think I may have to watch a movie. Captain America or one if the national treasures it might be. Not sure if we have Independence Day that would be good.

Ours are Independence Day and Jaws. Not patriotic, but Fourth of July related.

I apparently was all about alien invasions today. I watched, of course Independence Day ("we will no go quietly into the night, we will not vanish without a fight...") and then Battle Las Angeles, and the Battleship. And last night I watched Olympus Has Fallen. But the must have movie is Independence Day.  |

Another one for Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney and 1776. I'm a sucker for musicals!
