Independence Day
SHARE

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).

Apollo 13 (1995)

This Hollywood drama is based on the events of the Apollo 13 lunar mission, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert find everything going according to plan after leaving Earth’s orbit. However, when an oxygen tank explodes, the scheduled moon landing is called off. Subsequent tensions within the crew and numerous technical problems threaten both the astronauts’ survival and their safe return to Earth.
