15. Dubai Gets Dumped On London - Independence Day: Resurgence
After first attacking the human moon base, the new alien mothership arrives on Earth, where it hovers over the Atlantic Ocean and levitates parts of China and Dubai into the sky.
Of course, what goes up must come down, and moments later, the debris is thrown over London and other cities. Cue Dubai's Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building, being dropped down in London, where it obliterates the London Eye and anyone in the vicinity.
Yes, there's a lot to dislike about this belated sequel, but you can't really fault Emmerich for knowing how to stage some huge-scale destruction porn like the best of them.
