#TLT @dabbe
Posting early in case people are away from Litsy tomorrow. What to do over this long 4th of July weekend? Watch movies, of course! Some listed here are fun, some serious, some patriotic, and some just happen to take place on the 4th of July. Share your score and/or 3 faves or ones you want to see. I'll share mine in another post.

Amiable 33/80. This was a fun one! A League of Their Own and Apollo 13 are two of my all-time favorite movies. From this list, also loved Lincoln, Argo, Good Morning Vietnam … and Men in Black, of course! (edited) 5mo
rwmg There are special fourth of July movies? OK 5mo
dabbe @TheSpineView 😘 5mo
dabbe @tpixie #yesx3! ❤️💙❤️ Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤩🤩 5mo
dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag Goodness, what are you waiting for? It's fantastic! ❤️💙❤️ If you can still stand Will Smith these days, that is. 😂 5mo
dabbe @Amiable I always showed my students APOLLO 13 and STAR WARS when teaching them the Hero's Quest, one NF, one fiction. Then they had to write an essay explaining to me how they were the EXACT same movie. One of the best assignments I ever did! A-13 is in my top 5 faves of ALL time. Thanks for playing and sharing. 🤩🤩🤩 5mo
dabbe @rwmg Sort of. Some movies just “happened“ to take place on the 4 of July. or are patriotic in some way. 5mo
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag it‘s a good action movie 🎥 5mo
tpixie @dabbe great assignment- I bet those were fun to read! A-13 is a classic!!! 💙❤️💙 (edited) 5mo
Singout Oops, less than 10%, but I‘m an anti-war Canadian 🤷♀️. The ones I‘d like to see are Hamilton, Good Morning Vietnam, and Oppenheimer. 5mo
AnnCrystal Thanks 🇺🇲🦅🇺🇸😎💝 for the tag. 5mo
melissajayne I‘ve seen 36/80; my favs include Longest Day, Saving Private Ryan, and both Top Gun movies 5mo
thebacklistbook 16/80 I wonder if anyone made a Canada day list, I might do better at that. 5mo
Bklover 34! Just rewatched Apollo13 with my daughter, who hadn‘t seen it before (edited) 5mo
julesG Happy Independence Day to all US Littens! This European Litten has watched 31/80 films. That's 60%. Favourites include: Hidden Figures, Captain America, Independence Day 5mo
julesG The math is wrong. It's 39%. My brain is still booting. 5mo
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @tpixie @dabbe - everytime it comes up - I think, I should watch that 🤣🍿 one day for sure! 5mo
TheLudicReader Hmmm. Odd collection of films, of which I have only seen 20. Favourites? Rocky, West Side Story, To Kill a Mockingbird. 5mo
Amiable @dabbe Every time I watch A-13, I am on the edge of my seat in tears during the blackout period. My husband says, “you‘ve seen this a million times — and it‘s a real historical event! You know how it ends!” And I‘m like, but THIS time they may not make it !! 😄 Love that movie so much. (edited) 5mo
TheAromaofBooks National Treasure is a family fave - we watch it almost every year haha I'm also a sucker for Live Free or Die Hard, my favorite of the franchise, I think. 5mo
tpixie @TheAromaofBooks great movies! I had a hard time picking my favorites! 5mo
tpixie @melissajayne great movies- I re- watched the 1st 2 before our big WWII trip to Normandy last year. 5mo
tpixie @Amiable lol yes! The suspense! 5mo
tpixie @thegirlwiththelibrarybag … like several books on my TBR! 5mo
CogsOfEncouragement 28 this time. I hope to watch American Fiction as a family today. My favs off the list are Hidden Figures (I listened to the audiobook after watching this and LOVED it), The Heights (make sure you watch the scene after the credits), A League of Their Own, and The Sandlot. 5mo
Blueberry 30. Nation Treasure, Men in Black 5mo
dabbe @tpixie They were! 💙❤️💙 5mo
dabbe @Singout Of your choices, I've only seen GOOD MORNING, VIETNAM myself. I'd like to see your 2 others, too! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @AnnCrystal 😘 5mo
dabbe @melissajayne Fantastic choices! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @thebacklistbook I haven't, but I can try! 🤩 You can search on List Challenges and see, too! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @Bklover Oh how I LOVE that movie! 🤩 Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @julesG Excellent score, #europeanlitten (that should be a hashtag!) I am still amazed at how INDEPENDENCE DAY never gets old. Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @julesG Compared to all the others who've taken it, though, your % is higher. 🤩 5mo
dabbe @thegirlwiththelibrarybag I bet it's on somewhere today! 🤩😂🤗 5mo
dabbe @TheLudicReader Well, you know me--an oddie indeed! That's why I titled it to be over the 4th of July weekend--not just involving 7/4 itself. Happy belated Canadian Day, too, btw. ❤️🇨🇦❤️ 5mo
dabbe @Amiable I do the EXACT same thing! I can still see Jim Lovell's son looking at the clock at exactly 11:56 AM. ❤️🇺🇸💙 5mo
dabbe @TheAromaofBooks I have to see NATIONAL TREASURE! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @CogsOfEncouragement The only one I've seen from your list is A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. I've added your choices to my TBW list! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
dabbe @Blueberry I definitely need to watch NATIONAL TREASURE! Thanks for sharing and playing. 💙🇺🇸❤️ 5mo
Amiable I feel like “Field of Dreams” should also be in this list. (That‘s the one that rounds out my top-3 of all time.) Because what‘s more America-and-Apple-pie than a movie about baseball and cornfields? 🇺🇸⚾️🌽 5mo
dabbe @Amiable And set in the exact middle of our country! How could I forget that one! “Go the distance.“ 🤩🤗😀 5mo
