From pledging allegiance to the flag at the beginning of school to singing the national anthem at the start of every ball game, Americans are some of the most patriotic people in the world.
So, with July 4 arguably being the most patriotic day on the American calendar, we thought we’d find out which of the top American-based movies are most popular in each state. Of all the films in the study, Forrest Gump had the highest rating (8.8), meaning Alabama and Georgia technically have the best choice in patriotic movies according to IMDb. They are closely followed by Maine and North Dakota who both like the Spielberg classic, Saving Private Ryan, which enjoys an IMDb rating of 8.6….Here in South Dakota the movie we selected was the Tom Cruise led A Few Good Men.
Fun fact: Almost a third of the films we surveyed are so patriotic they’ve got the American flag in the movie poster. And 35 percent of states prefer to celebrate their patriotism with a war movie.
