This week is the country’s 233^rd birthday.  As a former history major, I love America’s rich, passion filled history.  I am planning on celebrating our Independence Day by watching a few movies that highlight America’s historical triumphs. 

When I was a kid my mother and I would watch James Cagney perform as George M. Cohen in Yankee Doodle Dandy every Fourth of July.  We would sit on the couch together and eat popcorn and sing-a-long to the patriotic tunes while we watched the classic black and white movie.  When Cagney would tap dance up the wall, I would try to do the same.  I, of course, fell down every time. 

Any other recommendations for great films about American history?

When not watching movies, I will stop by Best Buy’s one day dale.  We are having a few deals on Friday, July 3, 2009 only.  If you are looking for a good deal on a tv, we have a Dynex 32” LCD for $299.99.  I’m thinking about putting a tv in my basement and this might just work in that room.

And in between all that I will squeeze in sometime to go watch fireworks.  It wouldn’t be the Fourth without them.
