Apparently the September 11th masterminds used the movie independence day to pick some targets to hit. id don't know if they actually "used" the movie, but the targets in that movie were chosen to get a reaction from the audience. That was teh same goal of the terrorists, so maybe it would be a good idea.
Khalid Shaikh Mohammed had this to say supposedly:
"We were looking for symbols of economic might," he told his captors.
He specifically mentioned as potential targets the Library Tower in Los Angeles, which was "blown up" in the film "Independence Day," and the Sears Tower in Chicago.
