Esquire's 25 Best Movies to Watch on the Fourth of July
"The Fourth of July is right around the corner, which means it's time to celebrate America in all its glory. This year, after you've grilled some hot dogs and taken a dip in the pool, why not curl up on the couch and turn on a movie? It's the American way. And there are plenty of patriotic films to choose from, whether you want an action-packed adventure like 'Top Gun' or a family-friendly flick like 'The Sandlot.' If you aren't feeling particularly patriotic this year, you can use the holiday to pay your respects to unsung American heroes, like the Black female scientists in 'Hidden Figures' or the Black military regiment in 'Glory.' Either way, you'll be celebrating the American experience. Below, we've rounded up 25 of the best Fourth of July movies. Prepare to see some surprises, like 'Us' (it counts!) and 'Final Destination' (also counts!), along with all-American classics like 'Hamilton,' '1776,' and 'Forrest Gump.' It's all here, folks." - esquire.com
