We usually watch at least the first few episodes of the John Adams miniseries on HBO.

DS likes to watch Yankee Doodle Dandy.

Don’t really have a list. My husband will probably watch Independence Day which I have seen so many times I can’t stand it anymore.

Well "Youngblood" is about the most Canadian thing you can do indoors.

In the USA, the weekend before July 4th, tv channels show movies that have to do US history, fantasy movies where America is the hero, or just patriotic movies in general. Most of the time it’s classic 80’s/90’s movies.

Honestly never noticed that.

I should also mention Return of the Living Dead, which has became a kinda/sorta Independence Day film for some people, just because it actually takes place on a July 3rd-4th weekend.

For me, I usually stick to at least one movie around the day, and save ROTL for another time.

In my home town as well

Oops, you said Return of the Living Dead. Not sure on that one. Night of the Living Dead was filmed in Butler County.

Ah! Have you been to any of those NOTL locations? The graveyard, farm house?

You don't have to watch the movie in place of the actual celebration, you can do so that very weekend at a different time.

That said, I don't do the 4th anymore anyway, it's typically a waste except for the cookouts.

It really doesn't get any better, until you see the sequel, then the first one is just amazing in comparison.
