We're hoping to get everything lined up in time to celebrate America's 250th birthday. With that in mind, we've narrowed our first movie down to four choices. Vote in the comments for your preference!

* 1776 (a classical musical from the early '70s)
* The Patriot (Mel Gibson classic)
* Captain America (Avengers unite!)
* Hamilton (recorded live on Broadway)

Top vote-getter wins. Pass the word and get your friends and family to vote, too!

(We will be doing more movies, so don't give up if your favorite doesn't win this time -- you can vote on later movie titles 😉)
