Why do movie makers like destroying New York?

Top 10 Reasons Why:

1. Most populous city

2. Center of commerce and finance

3.Hub of arts and art related fields/activities

4. Big global influence on politics, media, entertainment, fashion and even education

5. Host to many foreign affairs

6. Statue of Liberty

7. Birthplace of many American cultural movements

8. Constantly active (people live active lifestyles) - City that never sleeps

9. Nice cityscape (with all the tall buildings surrounding the city)

10. To test its security power

To conclude, NY is such a beautiful city with its flaws and all. Many cities aspire to become like New York City, so maybe to see a powerful/ideal city destroyed is a motivation for the directors and scriptwriters.

Shock value. It is an icon and to see it destroyed adds a little to the element of fear in the movie.

You should check out heynielsen. You can ask questions like this and get good answers. They have tons of music reviews, movie reviews, video game reviews, television reviews and other entertainment industry related opinions. The best part is you get to join and provide your own opinions. It is like a social network for entertainment buffs. If your opinions get rated highly you can even get invited to previews and other invite only events. I think they are even giving away Oscar Swag bags right now.

Because NYC has one of the most famous looking skylines in the world, so I guess they think that destroying it would make the most impact on viewers.

because it is such a famous city / beautiful, hectic city. its jjust the kinda city that most people can recognize.

Coz its a big city.

Havoc and mayhem.
