12 Movies And TV Shows About American History To Stream This Independence Day

Many good movies left out. Few are factual in order to keep it interesting. Didn’t see most of these, but believe the Writers/Directors colored them in a way to make a point, as usual.

Lt Col Charlie Brown Probably will find the Boston Pops on the PB station and just sit back and listen. Really digs into the heart for me.

A good list. Not a great list. Missed my number one choice: 1776. I suspect most have not seen it and yet it is the best interpretation of actual history I've ever seen, and it's a musical. Imagine that. The personalities of the time are portrayed as they were rather than many of us learned. Inasmuch as I share a birthday with Geo Washington (not the same year as some might have you believe), I wanted to learn who he really was and found the real man far more interesting than the boy who chopped down the cherry tree, the young man who threw a dollar across the Potomac, or any other myth you may have heard. Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson some alive as real people. And the film even airs the dirty laundry of the debate as to whether or not slaves were "men"
