  Independence Day (1996)

  Nothing says freedom quite like blowing up the White House: There’s a reason the 1996 blockbuster continues to make the pop culture rounds. The cast is stacked – Will Smith (who reinvented what it meant to be an action star in the Nineties), Jeff Goldblum (my first white-boy crush, though The Lost World: Jurassic Park had me believing this man was an extra light-skinned Black dude), Vivica A. Fox (the undeniable, the iconic), Bill Pullman, Dennis Quaid, and Harry Connick Jr. The one-liners are one-lining. The action is nonstop from about the 15-minute mark. This is definitely a good one to bask in the nostalgia of while sipping a Tito’s Mule and stuffing yourself silly on the Alamo menu. – Cy White
