After watching 'I Am Legend' this weekend and while looking forward to '
Cloverfield' (and I am looking forward to it), I started to wonder how many movies have destroyed New York. The reasons
why so many directors choose to do it is easy.
- It's full of recognizable landmarks for destruction.
- New Yorkers love to see themselves so they'll go to see it.
- People outside of New York enjoy watching them suffer so we'll go see it.
Anyway, I ran across
this list (with YouTube clips) of the top ten destructions. Also found an
Op-Ed arguing that these movies are
good for New York. That might be true, and I don't know when this trend will stop (if ever).
I'm guessing that Tokyo is the second most destroyed city, thank you Godzilla. I have no idea what third place would be but if I was guessing, it would be San Francisco.
