Movies To Watch on July 4th

The United States is celebrating July 4, and with the holiday coming on a Tuesday this year, you might find yourself with a longer weekend and some extra hours to find a new movie or review an old favorite. To celebrate the holiday, we’re offering 47 titles that celebrate America, are set during the holiday, or highlight American heroes and tales of courage. Some will make you chuckle, others will make you cry, some are fictional tales, and others are dramatic stories of grit and success.

For America’s 250th anniversary, we took a look at Jaws, which features a great July 4th bash at the beach that takes a slight detour at the end.
