Here is a look at the top five movies to watch on the Fourth of July.5. Saving Private Ryan
There might be nothing more patriotic than taking in the Steven Spielberg Magnum Opus of «Saving Private Ryan.» The WWII film follows Tom Hanks as John H. Miller, a captain in the U.S. Army, who must lead his troops on D-Day.
Miller and his platoon not only survive the onslaught in Normandy, but they are tasked with the unthinkable. Miller and his group must save the life of Private James Ryan, whose brothers have been killed in action.
Miller must not go on a suicide mission to save Ryan from the same fate as his brothers.4. The Patriot
There might not be a more heralded movie that covers America’s independence than the 2000 Mel Gibson classic, «The Patriot.»
In «The Patriot», Gibson stars as Benjamin Martin, a war veteran from the French and Indian War, who must vote on a levy to support the Continental Army.
