Whether you're hosting a big barbeque with friends and family or staying at home this July 4th, there will be plenty of television shows and films honoring the red, white and blue.
We flipped through TV Guide listings to see just how patriotic television's line-up will be tomorrow.
While some screenings make sense—"Stars and Stripes Forever" and the ubiquitous "Patriot—others have us scratching our heads. (ABC Family will host a 12-hour marathon of "America's Funniest Home Videos" while AMC will air "Coach Carter" in the morning.)
Here are the patriotic films and shows airing this Independence Day.
1:45 p.m — AMC will show "Glory" (1989) the film about the all-black 54th Regiment of the Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry during the Civil War as they're led by Colonel Robert Gould Shaw (Matthew Broderick).
4:30 p.m. — AMC will air "The Patriot" (2000) where farmer Benjamin Martin (Mel Gibson) forms a group of Carolina patriots to uprise against the British troops during the American Revolution after his son Gabriel (Heath Ledger) is captured.
5 p.m. — TCM will show "1776" (1972) which follows the days leading up to July 4 when Benjamin Franklin and John Adams pressure Jefferson to write the Declaration of Independence. The film is based on the Broadway musical.
