Angering the Godzilla fan base one take at a time

Interesting you're including the Americanizations.
But Monster Zero--By far.

I love all the films of the period, save for Raids Again, but my favorite has always been Mothra vs. Godzilla, with Invasion of Astro-Monster close behind.

Mothra vs. Godzilla for me.
A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.

King Kong vs Godzilla is mine.
Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.

Personally, I like the original. It feels like a more serious movie. Which is not what most people want from a Godzilla movie, but it is a metaphor and warning. That is what Godzilla is to me.

SarcasticKaiju It may not be my personal favorite, but it is, without a doubt, the best one.
