The 10 Best Movies That Wreck San Francisco

1 of 10

Paramount Pictures

1. The Core (2003)
San Francisco -- and the whole West Coast, for that matter -- are obliterated following a series of electrical super-storms accidentally generated when America attempts to harness the Earths seismic power as a force against terrorism. Looks like we might have a lot more to worry about than the Big One, and stop, drop, and roll aint gonna help.

In real life, people are always fighting to preserve the beauty of San Francisco, but through the magic of the silver screen we can get the slightly wrong thrill of watching it get messed with just a little bit. We don't really want the Golden Gate Bridge to explode, crumble, or be swarmed by crazy creatures...or, judging by the success of many of these films which depict these and other pyrotechnical acts on our fair city, do we? --Tamara Palmer
