Obviously, I’m not the only person with a vendetta against New York City. The Rotten Apple has been destroyed so many damn times in film, it’s not even funny - but here, courtesy of Gawker.com, are 15 different ways New York City’s been destroyed.

Personally, I’ve always liked the destruction in Cloverfield and The Day After Tomorrow the best. The “American Godzilla” was just embarrassing. New York City deserves a much higher class of giant monster than that ludicrous oversized Tyrannosaur.
