	Independence Day (United States) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, Independence Day (commonly known as "the Fourth of July" or simply "the Fourth") is a federal holiday celebrating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on 4 July 1775, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain.
		Independence Day is commonly associated with parades, barbecues, beer, picnics, baseball games, and various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States.
		Despite the genesis of Independence Day, it is largely uncommon for Americans to express anti-British sentiment on the day or to view it as a celebration of anti-colonialism (it is also unusual to remember the aid given to the Americans by European powers such as France and the Dutch Republic).

		Independence Day is the kind of movie so giddy with its own outrageousness that one doesn't even blink at such howlers in the plot.

		Independence Day has stood the test of time for me: it's one of only a handful of movies that I own, and I never tire of repeated viewings.
