Fireworks, BBQ’s with delicious patriotic eats, pool parties, family and friends gathered together - it all makes the 4th of July so fun and special. With all of this action, we also love some great down time watching movies as a family. These are some of our favorite America themed movies to watch together.

Because of different sensitivity levels, not only in our own family, but in general, we LOVE VidAngel. Have you ever heard of it??! We have been paying for their service for years to filter content we feel is inappropriate for our family.

It’s super easy, you download the VidAngel app on your phone, computer &/or TV, and then connect it to your other streaming apps. VidAngel will pull the movies straight from your streaming apps and then you can choose what filters to put on.

VidAngel offers over 100 filters to choose from for content such as profanity, blasphemy, nudity, sexual content, violence, and more.

VidAngel provides filters for over 20,000 movies and TV shows, and we are always adding new content every week.
VidAngel’s apps let you filter shows online, on your phone, or on your TV.
