The Showa era is really dumb and I love it to death. Remember this one?Īnd finally, one of the least appreciated: Okay, that one clearly isn’t stupid enough. The original film is widely held as a masterpiece to this day, considered to be the best film in the whole franchise (until Shin Godzilla, the best film ever made, came out) and the rest of the franchise shaped kaiju movies for years to come.Įven the bad movies had some of the best moments in the history of cinema. These are some of the best (and worst) movies in the entire series. Ghidorah, The Three Headed Monster (1964)Īll Monsters Attack (AKA GODZILLA’S REVENGE) (1969) These include, as covered in the last few weeks, the following films:
