As the 4th of July approaches, we’re getting ready for fireworks and beach barbecues.

If you feel like adding a movie to your holiday weekend plans, Netflix offers plenty of options for whatever your Independence Day vibe might be.

Watch With Us is recommending five films that approach the 4th of July from different angles — a comedic look at patriotism starring Will Ferrell, a war movie starring Tom Cruise and a documentary about Taylor Swift, to name a few.

Whatever your holiday spirit looks like, there’s a movie for it!

‘Born on the Fourth of July’ (1989)

Born on the Fourth of July seems like an obvious pick simply because of its name, but it’s also a powerful, emotional drama — and a perfect watch for Independence Day.

11 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

Based on the true story of Vietnam War veteran Ron Kovic, the film stars Tom Cruise in one of his most critically acclaimed performances. Directed by Oliver Stone, this Oscar-winning movie dives deep into themes of patriotism, sacrifice and disillusionment as Kovic transforms from a proud Marine to an anti-war activist.

It’s a gripping reminder that loving your country sometimes means questioning it — making it a thought-provoking July 4 pick.

‘Miss Americana: Taylor Swift’ (2020)

Whether you’re a die-hard Swiftie or not, there’s no denying that Taylor Swift has become one of America’s most influential cultural figures.

In this documentary, which explores her growth as both an artist and a person, she examines her own relationship to patriotism as she decides to speak out about politics for the first time. It’s a fascinating look at a once-in-a-generation artist.

After all, there’s nothing more American than freedom of speech.

‘The Notebook’ (2004)

The Notebook isn’t an obvious 4th of July pick, but its old-school Americana aesthetic, World War II plotline and epic love story earn it a spot on this list.

Besides, if you don’t feel fireworks when Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) kiss, you’re probably just not paying attention.

The Notebook follows this star-crossed couple — working-class Noah and heiress Allie — over decades as social class and misunderstandings keep them apart. But the moving movie assures us that love conquers all.

‘Barbie’ (2023)

Just like Barbie, we can be anything. But on the 4th of July, we’re more like Ken (Ryan Gosling) — our job is just “beach.”

If you’ve been “beaching” too hard and you’re now nursing a sunburn, curl up on the couch with this phenomenal movie from director Greta Gerwig.

5 Must-Watch Netflix Movies to Stream in the Summer

Stereotypical Barbie (Margot Robbie) must leave the feminist utopia that is Barbieland and venture to the Real World, where she learns that “all problems of feminism and equal rights” have actually not been solved by Barbie dolls.

In addition to its social commentary about the nature of womanhood, Barbie is also a hilarious satire of American corporate culture, so it’s also a great one to enjoy if you’ve got the day off from your Real World job.

‘Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga’ (2020)

Americans have the 4th of July — but how do other nations celebrate their patriotism? With the Eurovision Song Contest, of course!

This over-the-top comedy starring Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams lovingly mocks the global phenomenon that is Eurovision, following Lars and Sigrid as they attempt to win the competition on behalf of their small town of Húsavík, Iceland.

The colorful cast of characters is more vibrant than any fireworks display and includes Dan Stevens as a Russian Eurovision singer, Pierce Brosnan as Lars’ disapproving father, and several real Eurovision winners from past decades.

It’s unapologetically silly in the way that Ferrell does best, and if you’re not feeling particularly patriotic right now, it’s a great way to transport yourself around the globe.

Who doesn’t love the 4th of July?

Whether you’re a big fan of patriotism or you just like having the day off from work, this summer holiday is the perfect excuse to celebrate with a great movie.

These five films — all available on Amazon Prime Video — hit the Independence Day theme from different angles.

Read on to learn what the Watch With Us team believes makes a 4th of July movie — and which ones you should watch this weekend.

‘My Old Ass’ (2024) 

This teen movie starring Aubrey Plaza is all about one girl’s last summer before college, and that carefree summer vibe makes it a 4th of July flick to us. Maisy Stella plays Elliott, a teenager who hopes to spend the summer hanging out with her friends and hooking up with her longtime crush, Chelsea. But her plans change when she takes magic mushrooms and winds up face to face with an older version of herself (Plaza).

Taking advice from her “Old Ass,” she tries to make the most of her last remaining days with her family. She also fights her growing attraction to Chad (Percy Hynes White), a seemingly lovely guy whom her older self warns her to avoid at all costs. This beautiful coming-of-age story will make you cherish the remaining days of summer, no matter how old you are.

5 Must-Watch Amazon Prime Video Shows You Should Stream in the Summer

‘American Fiction’ (2023)

Not only does this movie have “American” in the title, it’s a great supplemental entertainment if you like spending the 4th on the beach with a great book. (American Fiction is based on Percival Everett’s novel Erasure.) Jeffrey Wright plays Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, a Black writer and professor who grows frustrated with stereotypical “Black” books — many of which he feels pander to stereotypes — flooding the market. As a joke, he writes the most cliched, stereotypical book he can think of, only to have it become a bestseller.

At the same time, Monk reckons with the problems in his estranged family by cleaning out his mother’s old beach house. It’s a darkly comedic movie about race and class in American culture that won a well-deserved Oscar for best adapted screenplay. The excellent supporting cast includes Sterling K. Brown and Issa Rae, who add both depth and humor to the film.

‘Challengers’ (2024)

If summer sports are your jam and you plan to spend the 4th watching Wimbledon, we suggest Challengers as your weekend movie. This sizzling dramedy from Call Me by Your Name director Luca Guadagnino stars Zendaya as Tashi Duncan, a promising and dedicated tennis player who forms a long-standing love triangle with two best friends.

The movie examines Art (Mike Faist) and Patrick (Josh O’Connor) and their complicated relationships with tennis, Tashi and each other. It’s a sexy and funny movie that will have your head reeling — or perhaps turning from side to side like you’re watching a ball travel up and down the court. The tension is as attention-grabbing as Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce at last year’s U.S. Open.

14 Great Rom-Com Movies on Hulu Right Now (July 2025)

‘Red, White & Royal Blue’ (2023)

If you’d like to take the drama out of politics and imagine a cheerier version of international relations on Independence Day, Red, White & Royal Blue is just the ticket. This Amazon original rom-com follows Alex, First Son of the United States (Taylor Zakhar Perez), and Prince Henry, third in line to the British throne (Nicholas Galitzine). Their mutual dislike leads to a scandal, which in turn leads to a classic PR solution — Alex and Henry will pretend to be best buds.

What no one counted on was the two young men falling in love. As they face the expectations of their respective countries and families, Alex and Henry must reckon with their identities — both national and personal. It’s a warm and sweet rom-com that feels like a modern fairy tale.

‘Saving Private Ryan’ (1998)

If you’re looking for a more serious and emotional watch this 4th of July, Saving Private Ryan delivers. This powerful war epic from Steven Spielberg stars Tom Hanks as a captain leading a team of soldiers behind enemy lines during WWII to rescue one man — Private James Francis Ryan (Matt Damon).

With gritty realism, heartbreaking performances and themes of duty, sacrifice and patriotism, it’s a moving reminder of the real lives behind American freedom. It’s not light viewing, but it’s absolutely essential.

David Beckham is commemorating a special milestone in his relationship with wife Victoria Beckham.

Posting via Instagram on Friday, July 4, the soccer star, 50, shared a carousel of photos of his relationship journey with the fashion designer as he celebrated their 26th anniversary.

Among the images shared by David were photos from the couple’s wedding day, photos of the former Spice Girl cozying up to their children in their younger years as well as various snaps of the couple together over the decades. (The couple met in 1997 and wed two years later before renewing their vows in 2006.)

“26 years today you said YES to me Happy Anniversary and thank you for giving me our beautiful children and building the life that we have together I love you Lady Beckham ,” David gushed in the caption, addressing Victoria with the new title she obtained when the athlete received a knighthood in June.

David and Victoria Beckham Include Brooklyn in Father's Day Posts Amid Drama

David tagged Victoria, 51, the couple’s three sons Brooklyn, 26, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and used a hashtag for daughter Harper, 13, who does not have Instagram.

Although David tagged Brooklyn in the post that shared his gratitude for his children, there have been ongoing reports of a family rift between the Beckham family and Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham.

Brooklyn and Nicola skipped David’s 50th birthday celebrations in May, and an insider exclusively told Us Weekly that the young couple have “not been in touch” with his parents since then.

“There hasn’t been any sort of resolution from either side,” the source told Us, adding that David and Victoria have also not reached out.

For Father’s Day, David included Brooklyn as well as his other children in a post to mark the occasion.

“My most important and favorite job in life is being a dad,” he captioned photos of his four kids via Instagram on June 15. “I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy (sorry boys) tells you every single day, I will always be here for you no matter what. Mummy, thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father. There is no greater gift in life than making me a dad. Happy Father’s Day. I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.

How Did David Beckham's Sons React to His Knighthood Amid Family Drama?

Both Romeo and Cruz shared tribute posts to their dad for Father’s Day, but Brooklyn did not.

Similarly, when David was awarded the prestigious knighthood honor last month, Romeo and Cruz publicly acknowledged the big day for their father while Brooklyn remained silent on his social media.

“I’m so proud of you, Dad, I love you,” Cruz wrote via his Instagram Stories on June 14. “Sir David Beckham has a nice ring to it!”

Romeo added on his own account, “So so proud of you.”

Kristin Cavallari proved she has the ultimate bikini style as she showed off her stunning figure in a gorgeous two-piece.

The Honestly Cavallari star, 38, looked tanned and toned as she shared selfies via Instagram on Thursday, July 3.

In the post, Cavallari shared snippets of a vacation she has been enjoying with her kids, Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9, as well as her longtime friends Justin Anderson and Austin Rhodes.

“Vacation mode with this Motley Crue,” she captioned the post.

The crew appeared to be having a blast, with one photo in the post’s carousel showing the kids going down a waterslide while another showed the adults posing in front of a pool. Another image featured Cavallari posing in front of a Grill Shack.

Celebrity hairstylist Anderson also shared footage from their vacation via his own Instagram, including a humorous video of the group walking into a beachside restaurant.

 “It’s like the sound of music but dysfunctional,” Anderson captioned the post, adding, “Kidz are fun.”

The Hills alum shares her three kids with retired NFL star Jay Cutler, whom she was married to from 2013 to 2020.

The reality TV star and podcast host is no stranger to flaunting her figure on social media, and she has also been open about her breast augmentation journey.

“Something in me was telling me to redo my boobs,” she said in a May episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “Particularly the right one was not [sitting right].”

Cavallari added that when she ultimately saw a doctor, she learned it was because her implants had ruptured.

“I thought maybe gravity over time had taken hold, but it just wasn’t how I wanted it. It just wasn’t ideal,” she explained. “My intuition was saying, ‘Redo your boobs. Go get your boobs checked out. At least get a consultation.’ And I can’t tell you why, but something in me was telling me to do it.”

Kristin Cavallari Got Breast Implants and a Lift After Breast-Feeding 3 Kids

Cavallari got even more specific about her breast augmentation surgery in June, sharing more details, including which size she opted for, via her Instagram Story.

“I was 340 cc before now I’m 400,” Cavallari revealed. “Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I’ve just pushed them up a couple times since getting them done. This is the new set a few days ago and they fit my frame.”

A year earlier, Cavallari confessed via her Instagram Story in June 2024 that she decided to get a breast lift and implants after welcoming three children.

“I did both after breast feeding,” she wrote. “Everyone acting like I lied about it when I never got asked specifically about implants themselves. I said in an interview YEARS ago that I had a lift (which, to me, felt like I was revealing more than I actually needed to) but I never once denied implants, ever.”
