I got tired of waiting on the streaming services to offer THIS Independence Day, so I went old school with a DVD. I probably first saw this 35 or so years ago on HBO. My memory of the quality of this film was fully intact. It's about the whole spectrum of real life: love, dreams, family, misery and abuse. The powers that drive our entertainment choices today mainly focus on sci-fi, goofball comedies, fantasy and animation. This is the kind of drama I find most appealing. I'll freely admit being biased about Independence Day. It solidified my now 40 year crush on Kathleen Quinlan. Her character typifies what I always hoped to find, but never did.
