Well who shouldn't love Godzilla Raids Again, Its a very fun kaiju flick. And I think some of the Special Effects used here actually look better then some of The Special effects shots used in The original Gojira.

I see DAM is at the bottom of your list. Why do you rate DAM so low, Yuri? Just curious.

Thread drift: great to see you posting here again. thumbz up
Glad to be back! It's not that I don't like DAM. My top 10 may change from time to time. Just depends on what I'm in the mood to watch

Here is my renewed/revised Favorite SHOWA Godzilla films.

1 -Gojira (Japanese version Rocks! I no longer really care about the American Version after seeing that one - it just seems so hacked up - human element is GORGEOUS in the original Japanese version).

2 - Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla/Terror of Mechagodzilla (Tied) I have come to realize I love both of these films equally! AWESOME CAST!

3 - Son of Godzilla/Ghidorah The Three Headed Monster (Tied) - AWESOME CAST TOO!

4 - Godzilla vs the Sea Monster (Ebirah Horror Of The Deep)

5 - Godzilla's Revenge/Godzilla Raids Again (Tied) - I moved GRA up because it is such a damn fine film.

6 - Godzilla vs Mothra - I shifted this one down because I find myself kinda bored at times. The twin Larva attack is very cool.

7 - Destroy All Monsters/King Kong vs Godzilla (Tied) I did move KKvG up the ladder. The Japanese version is MUCH better than the American one.

8 - Monster Zero (Invasion Of The Astro Monster)

9 - Godzilla vs Hedorah (Godzilla vs the Smog Monster)

10 - Godzilla vs Gigan (I got the Japanese version... it still sucks! - though it is shocking clear and not nearly as dark)

I DO believe that honorable mention of Godzilla's Zone Fighter Appearances should be mentioned. Just because they are and were so damn fun!

I see that Mothra Vs Godzilla(1964) has moved up from 10th to 6th on your list. I guess your tolerance for Godzilla's wobbly lip in this movie has grown by leaps and bounds, Matthew. clowny1 tongue-1

My opinion has changed again.
A few of the films listed have gone up, others down.

I would place Godzilla(1954) lower.
Godzilla vs Mothra would be number three now.
Godzilla vs Hedorah is my favorite.
Godzilla vs The Sea Monster would be around number 5.
Terror of Mechagodzilla is fine were it is.
King Kong vs Godzilla and Godzilla Raids again are pretty tied now.

It took a few re-watches for me to like more things about the movie, however I should add in that I still dislike the wobbly lips. winky

Derp... hyena1

Wobbly lips you say? That's just the effect of Mothrophobia.


I still dislike that film somewhat because I feel that Goji took an unlikely beating from Mothra.

Thinking about it today, I'm not sure if I'd put Gojira, Invasion of Astro Monster, or vs. Mechagodzilla as my fave. Those 3 are my current tops.

My list jumps around so much that it isn't even worth putting one together any more.

The ones that I watch most are Return of Godzilla, King Kong vs., Mothra vs., Sea Monster, Ghidrah, Gigan, Mechagodzilla and Megalon. My least faves are Spacegodzilla, Mechagodzilla ('92), and Megaguirus. Final Wars is kind of so-so to me anymore. There's some good stuff in it, but there's just as much boring sh*t; enough to make it kind of mid-pack for me.

Same here. But I do have to say that when I watch Godzilla movies, it's the Showa Era ones that I watch most. Mainly because they remain my favorite ones, they have held up so much better over the years, and when you discuss Godzilla movies, if you're in my age bracket, between 40 and 50, these are the movies you remember the most. I guess that's why I keep Destroy All Monsters, Terror of Mechagodzilla, and War of the Gargantuas as my favorites in my member info. As these three movies were the most influential and remembered movies to me growing up. I need to put Mothra vs. Godzilla in there as well. The first Godzilla movie I ever saw in a movie theater with my Dad that started this whole thing. Lol.
