I regularly watch movie reviews prior to going to the theatre. I'm curious for those who do the same, what do you wish those reviewers talked about or discussed that you do not normally see? (or at all)
With the 4th of July coming up, I thought I would stake my ground on the best 4th of July movies ever put on screen.
**Definitive 4th of July watchlist**
**Independence Day (1996)** \- The undisputed king of the 4th. The Bill Pullman speech is that of legends with Randy Quaid and his alien probe bringing the laughs.
**Jaws (1975)** \- Enough said.
**I know What you Did Last Summer (1997)** \- Hit and run on the 4th of July with our guy, Freddie Prince Jr. bringing his A game.
**The Patriot (2000)** \- Mel Gibson might be the best dad in cinema history. A truly iconic movie that includes the late Heath Ledger.
**National Treasure (2004)** \- Does Gen Z and Gen Alpha know that Nicolas Cage stole the Declaration of Independence? This move was an instant classic that people forget.
**Top Gun (1986) -** The only thing that has aged better than this movie is Tom Cruise himself.
**Cape Fear (1991) -** Probably the best movie on this list. De Niro kissing Juliet Lewis is one of the most disturbing scenes in cinema history.
**Most OVERRATED 4th of July movie:** The Sandlot. You'll be watching your phone or checking your watch after about 20 minutes. BORING...

I have a love for the Die Hard knock offs but my knowledge of them is mainly from 90s movies. Need some good suggestions for the weekend.
