22 Greatest Movie Explosions

Getting plenty of bang for your buck...

Angels And Demons (2009)

The entirely CGI-engineered examples are never quite as cool as the ones that use pyrotechnics, but this anti-matter implosion is a spectacle nonetheless.

Sending debris flying across St Peter’s Square as well as taking out a chunk of the Vatican, the blasphemous blast aims for the religious jugular.

The final shot of the aftermath looks almost God-like, perhaps in an attempt to make a profound point. Others may regard it as a black hole, like the one that devours Vulcan in Star Trek.

      I like Watchmen's shockwave, and of course the arctic hospital from Inception. But thank you for Last Action Hero, because you had to include "It's a baaaaahm!"

      Love that you included Super 8 on the list, that movie deserves a lot of love. Sad to see no Matrix on there though, when the helicopter crashes into the building while Trinity swings away. Great list!
