4th Of July Favorite Movies

Looking for some entertainment this July Fourth? Maybe you need a little respite from all of the day's frolicking and BBQs. Or maybe just a refreshing blast of AC and a comfortable sit on your rump. The Refinery29 team has just movie suggestions for you.

Not all of these flicks are directly related to the holiday, though. Some just give us warm and fuzzy feelings about this country. (Naturally, Independence Day is included.) So get yourself to the screen of your choice, grab yourself a burger, and settle in for a patriotic viewing party. Just be sure to leave the fireworks outside.
