The English rendition of "Save The Earth" (the opening) is embedded in my memory since childhood. That movie had so many eerie scenes that I never forgot. I remember for instance feeling scared for the kid when Hedora came out of the water and he lifted his knife up, and his knife sliced through the monster. The effect on me was probably greater because I was that age so always had an association with the boys in the godzilla movies. Growing up in queens New York, I played in places like that - where the water wasn't the cleanest - or other urban settings. I was the latch-key introverted kid just like the boy in Godzilla's Revenge. Being of the same age and the same time it was so easy for me to connect with these movies. Anyone from my generation understands this yet it's impossible to share it with with others because they don't understand the appeal of those early movies for the kids of that day. .

My favorite Godzilla movie to date!
Burning Godzilla was always my favorite design. I mean after absorbing pure uranium (if of course if you know about about it, is said to be highly unstable) his energy went out of control. Causing his molecules to break down on an atomic level (which is the only way Godzilla can truly be killed). Godzilla in this form was power going out of control. And it was so much that it killed him. People say it was due to him absorbing too much power but that's not it at all. It's the unstable nature of the uranium he absorbed that caused his meltdown.

I like how many interpretations there are for Shindo's final scene. It really says a lot that it can be read in so many different ways. I take the position that Godzilla _does_ recognize Shindo on some level or another and that Shindo went in fully accepting or a least at peace with dieing by Godzilla's hand. Godzilla remembers and has some connection with Shindo, but he's been consumed by so much rage and pain since Shindo left that he can't look past that. Shindo, on the other hand, regrets leaving the godzillasuras. First for just leaving him he to die, then for knowing both the pain he inadvertently led Godzilla into and for all the death and destruction Godzilla's caused. He leaves his fate, the decision to pay for his "crimes" or not, in Godzilla's hands. And Godzilla knows him and sits in judgment of him. He may not feel Shindo _should_ die, but Godzilla's own circumstances won't let Godzilla let Shindo live. I find it touching and sad and really well done.
I knew Biollante would be no 1. That film is fantastic. All these films are great and I hope to watch them all one day. Thanks for making this list. You make Godzilla proud.

Godzilla vs Hedorah I thought was clever for its time being a kid back then myself. The first movie without Tsuburyas miniature set works. He had passed if Im not mistaken. The changing modes of Hedorah was fun. The introduction of Godzilla personality and not just rampaging. The emergence of being a protector. Of course the flight scene is over the top but we just watched many over the top scenes which are all part of his history. The music score was interesting and memorable. The frozen in time moment stare he gave the soldiers has always been one of my favorite moments. Probably the first wtf moment. I can hear him bitching in his head when the electricity messes up. Staying up late on saturday nights trying to catch a Godzilla film if I could stay awake as a kid was great fun. Vs Kong, vs Hedorah or vs Monster Zero. Those of us that have been on the ride all these years appreciate all the good and bad and just plain fun it has been. KOM was what I wanted to see in their live action scenes. The moment they referred to Ghidorah as Monster Zero the first time, i figured that more good references were coming. Growing up and growing old with the king of monsters keeps the inner child alive. No grandkids yet but cant wait......movie time!

Excellent top 10 list and these are absolutely great suggestions....I just would have put Godzilla 2000 somewhere on that list. It is simply a great introductory film for Godzilla that has a classic, straightforward, Godzilla centric plot-line. It is one of the entries that works well for younger and older audiences. It is sort of the prototypical Godzilla movie that checks all of the boxes that any non-fan would expect from one of these films. It also works as a great double feature with Godzilla 1998, not in the sense that it is a continuation of that movie or connected to it in any way(although it is fun to imagine that baby growing up and mutating into G2K)....but in the sense that it is almost a direct answer to everything that film missed about Godzilla. Puts Godzilla front and center right off the bat, spaces him out well throughout the film, has a classic sequence of the military throwing everything at Godzilla and failing, and finds a way to be a 'Solo Godzilla movie' while also making room for him to fight a giant monster at the end.

Like if this channel creator/narrator has one of the best voices for docu-style videos.
Godzilla portrayed as a force of nature is really one of the best things. Godzilla has tipped against nature, such as in Shin, and for the balance of nature, such as in the 2014 movie. I like that he isn't portrayed as for or against people in that one, and wonder if some of the bad guys get "corrected" by Godzilla in King of the Monsters.

I haven’t seen #9 since the drive in, no kidding. I’m 55 so it had to have been a summer reissue or something. He didn’t moonwalk backwards out of the sea to help rebuild Tokyo either 😿 Anyhow, great job! Clearly a labour of love.
Thank you for making the point that it's ok for Godzilla movies to be fun and stupid or dark and serious. I wish more people had that kind of open mind and appreciation for a healthy and realistic balance in life.
If nothing else, the soundtrack from Godzilla vs. Biollante is great. One of my favorites to not really heavily on the main Godzilla themes.
The two that I watched most as a kid were "Godzilla 1985" and "Godzilla vs. Mothra." So good!
I just discovered your channel. Our tastes are resonating. This list cemented it. Biollante at #1? Yes. Hell yes. Keep up the good work!
Yes, I agree with your choices. Because I’ve also watched them all too. But, I also like Godzilla vs the sea monster. Where he was a sleep on an island. Protected by a giant lobster. Always loved that one too.

Godzilla vs. Biollante is a very underrated film and I am happy he picked it as his #1. The special effects are great, influenced me as a kid to get into sculpture, and it still holds up well today. Has a great message in it as well!
Thank you for loving G vs Megalon for its sheer dumbness.

Godzilla Vs Gigan Is Better Than Most of These I Love Godzilla KTM,Spiderman Homecoming, Godzilla Final Wars, Star Wars Return Of the Jedi,And Godzilla Vs Gigan Yeah I Love Godzilla Vs Gigan my Life Is Angurius And Gigan
Godzilla vs Biollante is my actual favorite, and my first film I ever watched in the franchise. The poster art is also awesome.
'Destroy All Monsters' to this day is still my favorite Godzilla film.
Yeah, really gotta give Ikufube mad props for all his amazing work. And Shin Godzilla brings back many of my favorite tracks from across the whole series.
I see the length of the video and think "oh man. Too long for me to sit through". Then when it ends I'm like "it's over already?!" I probably would've switched out Final Wars and Megalon for Monster Zero and Hedorah. As many times as I've watched Final Wars, for some reason it didn't resonate with me. Even though it's an all star kaiju cast, they were all disposed of too quickly, as you mentioned. And, those actors almost give me a headache. Not the characters, the cast choices. Plus, some of the suit designs looked way too much like a human wearing a costume. Gigan, specifically. I always loved the Hedorah character. Especially its origin story. Even though that movie is flawed big time, Godzilla the hero vs the smog monster-alien really zeroed in on Godzilla as savior. Great video. Well worth the time spent watching. Looking forward to more.
Thank you for making this list! I watched a lot of these movies as a kid but then missed out on the millennium movies so it feels like starting over. Now with the newer Legendary movies I'm all hyped about going back into the GZ world. Subscribed!
Godzilla Vs Destoroyah is a MASTERPIECE! also makes me cry, super emotional movie, I highly recommend this film for any monster movie fan.
Yyyyaaaaasss !!! I’m glad u added in Godzilla vs megalon ... thanks 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Godzilla 1985 will always be my favorite. Its the one i first saw as a kid and i can still remember renting it from the Library and video store anytime i could get my hands on it. Overall, great video and great top 10 list. Cant wait to see what you do with the new one coming out in a few days!

Time to update the list! My top 10 for now are Godzilla '54, Minus One, GMK, Shin Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters (because I saw it in an actual theater back in the day on a double bill with Yog, Monster from Space and it blew my preteen mind), Godzilla vs Mothra '62, Return of Godzilla '84, Godzilla 2014, Godzilla vs King Ghidorah '92 because it's so weird, and King Of The Monsters 2019 for its weirdness and because it has Rodan the way I always imagined it. I hope the new film is boosting your views, these reviews/overviews were excellent.
I was about 6 years old when I first time saw the first Godzilla movie in tv. Loved it ever since, and saw all of them everytime when they aired. Now I'm 33 and I still love to come back and watch them all, either in original order, or just the favorite ones. Godzilla never gets old ❤️
Can't believe what number 1 is. She's my favorite Kaiju.

Yup.
One of my personal favorites was Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla mostly due to the fact that they used the original 1954 Godzilla's skeleton as the base of Kiryu. When Godzilla's roar awakened Kiryu's dormant mind and the real Godzilla came out it left a big impact on me. It was like the original Godzilla was coming out to reclaim his mantle from the newer one. Not only that but I thought the action was pretty awesome too.
I watched almost everyone of the "older" Godzilla movies over a dozen times when I was a little kid. I don't remember anything about the plots. The memories this video just pulled from the depths of my mind are freaking me out. How much more is in there that I have forgotten.
I always had a thing for biolante... great movie. Also loved Godzilla returns.
I’ve always been a big Heisei fan and Godzilla vs Destoroyah is by far my favorite Godzilla and even among my favorite films ever. The combination of emotion, action, visuals and score is nothing short of magnificent. I hope they save Destoroyah in the Monsterverse to fill the same shoes as before as the climax of the series as there would be no better fitting way to end it in my opinion.
I always remember growing up as a kid, my dad and I would go rent movies from Blockbuster on the weekends and I was always curious about the Godzilla films. The cover art made the monsters look terrifying, and when I asked my dad about them he would always refuse renting the movies by saying that they would give me nightmares. That only made my imagination go wild with what could be so terrifying about the films. Ironically I think I remember them more than the movies we actually ended up renting.

This is embarrassing but when I was around 8 years a Godzilla movie was on TV and I picked my mom to let me watch it. She was afraid it would scare me and she was right. Pretty sure it was Godzilla vs Megalon
Dude, SO happy you listed Biolante as #1. That was the first Godzilla movie I was introduced to as a kid and nothing since has been able to top it!
Thank you. Now I am binge watching Godzilla videos.
Wow, I need to go watch Godzilla vs Biollante now.
Your list is so close to mine. Super well done and immersive list.
Man I was expecting to know all of these but you surprised me with 2 films. Definitely agree with this list and you inspired me to go re watch these films.
Surprised Godzilla 2000 wasn't included, but I get it. Might be too "vanilla" for this list.

I love Godzilla vs Biollante. It does everything that I want from a Godzilla film, and its special effects are some of the best in any movie.
"The Return of" and the American cut "1985" is my second favorite Godzilla film following both cuts of the original. The sense of scale was done so well in that film and I'm happy you highlight Raymond Burr's monologue at the end, that scene was one of my favorites within the entire series. The conflicted mood at the end, the necessity to stop Godzilla juxtaposed with an empathy towards the creature and acknowledgement that Godzilla was a product of human error highlights the tragedy of the character.

I agree although that is my #1. No one mentioned the great opening and closing scores in that movie. He looks great and I do almost cry while they are all watching him at the volcano Love when he tips the building on the super x too Would of been great with another monster but that's ok
awesome, this was very helpful! thanks
I consider Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster a significant film in the overall Godzilla series. Introducing fans and viewers to Godzilla's arch nemesis as well as the more heroic aspect to the character we'd come to know as the 60's progressed. As far as favourites go, Mothra vs Godzilla, Son of Godzilla, Godzilla 2000, and the og, Gojira.
Amazing video man. I've been a huge fan of Godzilla since I was a little kid renting movies from Blockbuster. Looking forward to all your videos.

Great vid. As a personal favorite, I would have mentioned "Ghidorah the Three Headed Monster" as one of the top 5. I always loved Godzilla and Rodan teaming up together against monsters (kind of like another Batman and Robin). To me, it's one of the best (and is probably the inspiration for the plot of this years Godzilla: King of the Monsters. In any event, great list and great vid. Peace.

I got my start with Godzilla back when I was about 4 or 5. I've loved the Big G ever since, and I am happy to say my son is also a fan of everyone's favourite radioactive reptile. I first introduced him when he was about 9 (he's 20 now) with _Godzilla vs Mothra,_ and he loved it! Honestly, I can't argue with a single thing you've said on this list. This is a great selection as a starter pack for people new to Godzilla.
Some people are not gonna agree with me but i think Godzilla Tokyo S.O.S. is a must watch
I personally liked Godzilla vs Mothra: Battle for Earth. The story was somewhat similar to the original but added Battra, and gave her more backstory. That and the suits in the 90s just looked so much better in my opinion.
I'm new to your channel and I can already tell you're going to have good content keep up the great work bud

Hedorah doesn't get nearly enough love!
growing up in late 80s/early 90s my parents had a couple godzilla movies (probably for my other brothers) but 1 I always loved was godzilla 1985 (return of godzilla), idk what it was about that movie but pretty much the darkness used really made godzilla scary but so freakin cool lol. That and the music was amazing
I know Godzilla vs. Megalon is bad, but it was the first Godzilla movie I ever saw in a theater. I'd watched plenty on TV, but as an 8 year old getting to see Godzilla on the big screen, it was awesome. I actually have a soft spot for Jet Jaguar and even at my young age thought its ability to grow was something of an ass pull. I'm glad you brought up Batman. I have similar feelings about the Adam West version. It's the only version we had, and it was fun. Do I want it back? No, but I'm glad I grew up with it.
