Here in the United States we are on the verge of a weekend of grilling, fireworks, and celebration. However, the entire weekend cannot be spent outside on the boat, so we put together 10 movies to watch this Independence Day weekend.
These films either focus around the 4th of July or have a patriotism theme and while there are a ton for films you could watch this weekend, we decided on 10 that we like the best (in no particular order).
Born on the Fourth of July (1989)
In the mid 1960s, suburban New York teenager Ron Kovic enlists in the Marines, fulfilling what he sees as his patriotic duty. During his second tour in Vietnam, he accidentally kills a fellow soldier during a retreat and later becomes permanently paralyzed in battle. Returning home to an uncaring Veterans Administration bureaucracy and to people on both sides of the political divide who don’t understand what he went through, Kovic becomes an impassioned critic of the war.
