It wouldn't be a strong list without at least one science fiction film here. Independence Day focuses on a global alien invasion and mankind's efforts to stop it. The story unfolds over the days leading up to Independence Day on July 4 (so it's a perfect choice to start in July).

The film begins with the arrival of a giant alien mother ship that deploys saucer-shaped spacecraft over major cities around the world. As the aliens position themselves, it becomes clear that their intentions are hostile. Their attacks cause widespread devastation, destroying cities such as Los Angeles, New York City, and Washington D.C. with advanced energy weapons. David (Jeff Goldblum) and Captain Hiller (Will Smith) make a daring plan to infiltrate the mother ship using a captured alien spacecraft.
