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?

Sounds right. I thought The Patriot was decent. Sort of like Braveheart in the Revolutionary War.

As mentioned, The Patriot is a decent popcorn flick about the war. 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.

Turn: Washington's Spies is a fantastic series, IMHO.

Admittedly NOT really a one day show.

Not really a 4th movie, but it seems like a good day to watch Easy Rider. Maybe it's the bike....

Great movie and a great American tale. Better suited for Mardi Gras.

But I’ll agree that any day is a good day to watch Easy Rider.

I’ll add this:
