Kurt’s Blog: The Top 10 Best 4th of July Movie Releases Ever

Our good friend Grae Drake joined us this morning to talk about 4 awesome 4th of July movie releases from Independence Days past. Sorry, that sentence is all sorts of weird.

My favorite movie of all time…Back to the Future…was a 4th of July release…so you obviously know what movie will to the list.

  1. Back to the Future
  2. Despicable Me 2
  3. Independence Day
  4. Coming to America
  5. Men in Black
  6. A League of Their Own
  7. Die Hard 2: Die Harder (nothing like a Christmas-themed movie in July)
  8. Adventures in Babysitting
  9. Apollo 13
  10. Son in Law (that’s right, you can’t leave Pauly Shore off this list…

There it is…the definitive list.
