July 4, 20223 yr It’s weird that there aren’t all that many Revolutionary War movies. There are more Civil War movies. At least that’s my impression. I haven’t compiled statistics. But that’s right, isn’t it?

Also: Drums Along the Mohawk (1939) - Henry Fonda, Claudette Colbertt - Upstate NY obvs. The Scarlet Coat (1955) - Story of Benedict Arnold Johnny Tremaine (1957) - Disney flick, but historically accurate and a good primer for the times. The Devil's Disciple (1959) - Douglas, Lancaster, Olivier - 'nuff said April Morning (1988) - Battle of Lexington w/ Tommy Lee Jones The Crossing (2003) - Jeff Daniels as Washington on the Delaware. All For Liberty (2009) - A good flick that explores the Southern colonies dynamics. Musicals 1776 Hamilton Edited July 4, 20223 yr by Herpa Derpa
July 4, 20223 yr The Patriot. Yeah, we all hate Mel Gibson now, but it’s still a solid flick on ‘murica’s birthday.
July 4, 20223 yr Not really a 4th movie, but it seems like a good day to watch Easy Rider. Maybe it's the bike....

Better suited for Mardi Gras. But I’ll agree that any day is a good day to watch Easy Rider. I’ll add this: Edited July 4, 20223 yr by WhatTheBuck

July 4, 20223 yr How about Miracle? That documented the dawn of the “USA! USA! USA!” chant. Also, fuck Russia.
