Planet of the Apes (1968): Okay, we don’t actually see how part of the Statue of Liberty ends up on a beach in the ape-controlled future. But this one is too iconic to leave off the list.

Having the Statue of Liberty in shambles on the "New York" posters quietly revealed the feature's non-hagiographic approach to America. Nothing is sacred here.

The Statue of Liberty was designated a National Monument in 1924 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. In 1956, Bedloe’s Island was renamed Liberty Island by a joint resolution in Congress.
