Captain America: The First Avenger

Captain America oozes American pride. I mean, the man is basically a walking American flag. This is a movie the entire family/group is bound to enjoy, no matter the age. The little ones will have their eyes glued on Captain America, while the older ones will appreciate the walk down memory lane. Bonus points if you pull together a USO Girl outfit for the 4th of July. (Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont was not one of the original 13 colonies.)
2.
Forrest Gump

This classic movie spans the presidencies of Kennedy & Johnson, the Vietnam war, Watergate and other historical events in America, all told through the perspective of Forrest, an Alabaman man with a heart of gold and a low IQ. Forrest Gump is a story of love, innocence, and the American life which makes this the perfect movie to get you in the 4th of July mood. Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont was not one of the original 13 colonies.
3.
Independence Day

July 4th is the perfect time to celebrate with friends and family, but Independence Day in this movie is a totally different ball game. The typical, joy-filled festivities that take place on the 4th take a turn for the worse as alien forces begin to attack major U.S. cities. Show your patriotism by watching Will Smith as he punches aliens in the face and saves the day in this 4th of July movie. Make it a movie marathon event and watch the sequel, Independence Day: Resurgence. (Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont was not one of the original 13 colonies.)
4.
Jaws

Talk about a thriller. Quite possibly one of the best summer blockbusters ever, the iconic Jaws takes place over the 4th of July holiday. When the Chief of Police Martin Brody becomes fearful for tourist beachgoers safety after a series of shark attacks, he brings in a marine biologist and an old seafarer to hunt down the massive great white shark wreaking havoc and endangering swimmers. Think on that one if you plan to party it up at the beach this weekend. Or play it safe and watch Jaws instead of reliving it. Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont was not one of the original 13 colonies.
5.
The Sandlot

Nothing is more American than baseball, backyard BBQs, and pool parties. The Sandlot is a classic and there's no better time to enjoy it than on the 4th of July. Did we mention that the baseball team in the movie participates in an annual 4th of July baseball game and fireworks light up the sky, sparklers line the streets, all while "America the Beautiful" plays in the background? Yeah, it doesn't get much more American than that. Also, in case you were wondering, Vermont was not one of the original 13 colonies.
