For countless Americans, July 4th means freedom, backyard barbecues, and patriotic firework displays. For a subset of that group, however, it holds another meaning: a great excuse to watch what is, without a doubt, the holiday’s best action movie, Independence Day. And for those who have always dreamed of a Bill Pullman presidency or wanted to scream, “Welcome to Earth!” in the face of an alien invader, the internet is full of killer accessories to celebrate your love of this seminal film. Here's the cream of the crop.
