Celebrating July 4th with 76 Blockbuster Coffee Movies In Waiting

Recent years have seen a steady stream of beautiful and noteworthy films about coffee. From breathtaking documentaries such as “A Film About Coffee” to artful promotional shorts like “The Film About GreatCoffee” to expertly polished YouTube instructionals such as those posted by ChefSteps and plenty of roasters and retailers, watchable content on the subject of specialty coffee seems to be enjoying a golden era.

And yet, where’s the razzle-dazzle? The non-stop thrill-ride, the tear-jerking sob-fest, the potty-mouthed coming-of-age gut-buster?

It’s Fourth of July weekend here in the USA, and that means several things: Fireworks and barbecue, maybe some camping, and for a certain kind of American consumer, at least a couple hours’ refuge from this season’s record heat in blissfully over-air-conditioned multiplex darkness, passively steeping in the spectacle of one Hollywood CGI bonanza or another.

With that in mind, we present a whopping 76 coffee blockbusters that have yet to fill the silver screen. If you have to ask “Why 76?” you may need to check your patriotic pulse.

Got a few of your own? Add them in the comments. Happy 4^th!
