"The Sandlot" was released in 1993, and still remains one of the greatest sports fils ever made, along with being one of the best Fourth of July movies.

Blockbusters, musicals, comedies, a few disaster films, and everything else you'll need for a cinematic celebration of our most explosive holiday.

"Born on the Fourth of July" stars Tom Cruise as Ron Kovic, and is based on the memoir of the real Rod Kovic, who co-wrote the movie's screenplay along with director Oliver Stone. The movie follows Ron's life as a child, then a teen, as a boy who longed to fight in a war like his World War II veteran father.
