Independence Day: Resurgence
It’s been 20 years since the original Independence Day hit the big screen and I still remember the impact it had on audiences, solidifying Will Smith’s future as an action hero with his iconic “Welcome to Earth” line as he sucker punched an alien right in its extraterrestrial face.
