    > Godzilla > "The effects are *low budget*..." _Excuse_ you? Godzilla had an estimated budget of about $5 million, which was *crazy* for the time. All they had back then were practical effects--they didn't have the ease of computers to generate everything for them (like all the other movies on this list). Just because it doesn't have CGI doesn't mean it's low budget. It's the only movie from before 1996 in this entire list, too. For the time, those effects were phenomenal, and still hold up very well even to this day. Please stop spouting ignorant shit like this so I can like your videos more.

    I well its hardly a opinion if the movie was 5 millions dollars is the only movie before 1996 and movies then using props heavily back then. Only the last bit. Other than that I believe the message of the movie was more than just having *charming effects* but actually giving life to the atomic bomb incident with inspiration of Hollywood movie monsters, and demonstrating the horrors of practice of bombs on civilians.

Also, NYC is one of the most visited cities in the world. so in terms of familiarity and maximum damage. It is the best to destroy NYC Sadly to say, it is also the same reason why NYC gets hit in real life as well
