Jonathan Bernstein: I see Turner is showing The Music Man today, which is excellent...What else is on y'all's viewing list for the 4th? The Godfather? Do the Right Thing? Kane? American Graffiti? Bill & Ted? That DS9 scene where Quark and Garak talk about root beer?

Another possibility:

Yeah, good call.

One of the all-time greats that for some reason I've never seen. Have to rectify that.

You're right.

Good choice

Jaws, obviously. Always good to watch the Great McGinty, too. A history movie, like Blazing Saddles? An immigration saga, like Night at the Opera? I also feel like a movie about how awful the hereditary aristocracy is would be appropriate, so maybe the 1937 Prince and the Pauper with Errol Flynn?

As much as I love McGinty, for the 4th I'd probably be more likely to go with Morgan's Creek. Or Hail the Conquering Hero. Or Sullivan's Travels....Or all four?

Can't get more hereditary aristocracy than HEREDITARY

1776, Hamilton, and ID4.

I'm not a huge fan of 1776, but sure, all good ones.

Admittedly, all of its magic is in the first half hour. But still. “Will someone shut that man up?” “NEVER.” Fuckin’ A right, John.

The Music Man is a surprisingly solid choice; I wouldn't have considered it. A con man saves the day, plus songs!

We’re watching Jaws when we get home tonight.

Reasonable!

Network, the true Bicentennial favorite

Howard Beale in Network 1976 I'm as mad as hellyoutu.be Howard Beale's (Peter Finch) famous "mad as hell" call-out in Network.

Certainly very American.

1776, though I'm not sure we can bear it this year. Watching the new season of Prodigy right now.

In the 90's when I was a kid, there was a Child's Play marathon on Fourth of July, that I think was immortalized for my sister and I because we taped it on VHS/ saw the Independence Day-themed promo commercials multiple times afterwards. So now it just seems like it fits.
