This is embarrassing to admit, but I always tear up when Randy Quaid sacrifices himself to blow up the alien ship LMAO.

Fun fact from the blu-ray extras: The original cut of the movie had Randy fly his biplane with a missile tied to it up into the alien mothership, but test audiences laughed at the scene. They had to reshoot it and add the "we need pilots and we'll train you in ten minutes" scene.
Funny enough my wife and I went to an AirBnB earlier in the year and there were a collection of DVDs there. We watched Independence Day up until the DVD stopped working.
We took it out and found it was gouged the hell out of.
When we told the man about it the next day he said that it's one of the most popular movies that they have in there.
We went home we watched the rest. It's not a great movie, but it's always fun.
Holy shit, is that scene in the extras or do they just talk about it?
I saw this at the Uptown Theater in Washington, DC. When the aliens blew up the White House, the audience cheered. I doubt that would have happened during the Obama years, but I bet it would get a standing ovation now.
I thought Quaid flying the jet was such a cheat; the structure of that screenplay & character demanded that Quaid fly his biplane into the alien ship.
