Independence Day, when the White House goes kablooey. You just can't argue with alien death rays .

I can agree with all of these I think, especially The Italian Job and V For Vendetta.

But if you can count multiple explosions how about the shelling of the trees in Band Of Brothers?
When all soliders are down in their foxholes and the forest is just laid to waste by constant bombardment.

I liked the first Alien movie when the space tanker explodes. It was sooooo pretty.

Ocean's Eleven (2001) when they blow up the hotel. That one's a funny explosion thanks to Don Cheadle... Well technically, it was an implosion. Does that count?
