Welp, since there still isn't much of a theatrical film industry at the moment, let's talk about a kids cartoon show that ended more than a decade ago.
Because why not?

4th of July Movies: 2020 Edition
I'm gonna assume everyone's already watched Hamilton on Disney+ by the time they read this, but. . . well, if you haven't noticed, but this year has been a little, uh, different when it comes to America, and it's hard to avoid acknowledging that, even (or especially?) on the country's annual Independence Day. We're in a, uh, period of years (a "term," you might say) where things have been decidedly worse on the homefront, and the combination of *gestures broadly at everything* makes even the celebration of a three-day weekend something with loaded context.
So let's avoid that but pretend that we're sorta addressing it by thinking of some vaguely 4th of July-appropriate films that are less on the mindlessly-jingoistic side.
And also that aren't Jaws, because - well, everyone already knows why.
Look, I like making lists, and talking about unimportant bullshit isn't the worst coping mechanism.
