25 movies that will make you proud to be an American

We understand that a list of the most American films could run 239 items long - the number of years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

We rounded up the movies that will stir your nostalgia for the red-white-and-blue, and a few titles just for fun - listed in order of release.
