I love stuff like this. I still want to see a similar montage of Paris being destroyed.

But, gotta ask... no Cloverfield?

there was a bit of cloverfield.

Ah, there it is. Just not in the list on the site.

Cloverfield clips were definitely in it, i was going to point it out, but its actually mentioned in credits.

And Independence day too.

weird REM cover at the end.

What was the song playing during the clips? Its... so familiar but I cant place it...

It was posted at the end of the video. But I was more curious what that song had been on. I've heard it somewhere before.

Woody Allen uses it in the beginning of "Manhattan", correct?

It's on Disney's Fantasia 2000

What? No World Trade Center? Though it really happened, it was a movie too.

It's kind of ironic that this post came out today. Just last night I was relistening to the /filmcast's Watchmen review with Kevin Smith in which they talk about the trend of destroying NYC.

Also, if you count 2012, Roland Emmerich has caused mayhem in NYC 4 times. Godzilla, Independence Day, Day After Tomorrow, and 2012. Out of the 12 feature films he's made, 4 feature heavily destruction in NYC. The guy clearly has issues with the place.

I don't recall him showing New York even once in 2012. In fact, I remember reading that he specifically wanted to avoid showing it and show different places. He also didn't want to show DC getting destroyed but was convinced by his crew that you can't show the destruction of the world without DC.

Why, why, why Manhattan? It’s the best city in the world. One way to look at it too, NYC represents every part of the Americana. Another way to look at it, NYC has a lot iconic sites; one who’s never been to the city knows its NYC – from the Statue of Liberty to the skyline to Coney Island.

I mean come on, if a big money scene was spent on scenario in Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Houston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, or Wichita. Majority of people wouldn’t even know the location much less think of them as any city than their own. Los Angeles has its fair share of being destroyed in Hollywood too!

Admit though, its fun seeing NYC or LA being destroyed by Hollywood, I know my surround sound system does =)

I don't want to be a movie nazi, but I'm pretty sure Knowing involved the destruction of Boston. I could be wrong though

Watched a show on the history of American cinema a few years back, seems Thomas Edison would send his goons to wreck other filmmakers sets, so they moved as far away from New York as they could, which was California. Guess they still bear a grudge.
