Ranking the Godzilla movies personally

Had nothing better to do, so I decided to rank the G films according to how I like them. Starting with #1 going down. And yes, I know my bottom-ranked one will leave some people scratching their head, but I truly do not like that film for some reason.

Godzilla/Mothra/King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-out Attack
King Kong Vs. Godzilla
Godzilla Vs. Megalon
Destroy All Monsters
Godzilla Vs. Biollante
Godzilla, King of the Monsters
Terror of Mechagodzilla
Godzilla Vs. Gigan
Godzilla Raids Again
Godzilla 2000
Godzilla Vs. Space Godzilla
Godzilla 1985
Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla
Godzilla Vs. Destroyah
Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla (original)
Godzilla Vs. Megaguirus
Godzilla Vs. King Ghidorah
Godzilla And Mothra: Battle For Earth
Godzilla Vs. The Smog Monster
Ghidrah The Three-Headed Monster
Godzilla Vs. Mechagodzilla II
Godzilla Vs. Mothra
Godzilla’s Revenge
Godzilla Vs. The Sea Monster
Godzilla (U.S. ’98)
Son of Godzilla
Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero

(have not seen Godzilla/Mothra/Mechagodzilla: Tokyo SOS yet, so no rating placement)

Ranking the Godzilla movies personally

I like! I don't think we've ever done that here:
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS
GODZILLA'S REVENGE
GODZILLA VS MEGALON
GODZILLA VS THE SMOG MONSTER
KING KONG VS GODZILLA
GHIDRAH
GODZILLA VS MECHAGODZILLA (1974)
SON OF GODZILLA
MONSTER ZERO
GODZILLA VS THE THING
GIGANTIS
GODZILLA VS THE SEA MONSTER
GODZILLA (either version)
TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA
GODZILLA X MECHAGODZILLA
GMK
GODZILLA VS MEGAGIRAS
GODZILLA ON MONSTER ISLAND
GODZILLA 2000
GODZILLA VS BIOLLANTE
GODZILLA VS MOTHRA
GODZILLA VS MECHABARNEY
GODZILLA VS KING GHIDORAH
GODZILLA VS DESTROYER
GODZILLA VS SPACE GODZILLA
GODZILLA 1985 (again, either version)
and of course, gino is the worst.

Now, some of the upper ones change positions easily. gino never will.

GOJIRA (Original Japanese Vesion)
DESTROY ALL MONSTERS
Those two are outstanding

Re: Ranking the Godzilla movies personally

Madison doesn't like my first Godzilla film! *cries bitter tears*

Seriously now, let me do the original 15 first :

01 - GHIDRAH
02 - GODZILLA
03 - DESTROY ALL MONSTERS
04 - GODZILLA VS. MEGALON
05 - MONSTER ZERO
06 - GODZILLA VS. MECHAGODZILLA
07 - GODZILLA VS. THE SEA MONSTER
08 - TERROR OF MECHAGODZILLA
09 - KING KONG VS. GODZILLA (US version drops to #14)
10 - GODZILLA VS. GIGAN
11 - GODZILLA VS. THE THING
12 - SON OF GODZILLA
13 - GODZILLA VS. THE SMOG MONSTER
14 - GODZILLA'S REVENGE
15 - GIGANTIS/GODZILLA RAIDS AGAIN

I'm not sure I can rank any after those, but we'll see.

My thumbs up list:
14. Godzilla vs. Biollante
13. Gigantis, The Fire Monster
12. Godzilla's Revenge
11. Godzilla vs. The Smog Monster
10. King Kong vs. Godzilla

and
1. Destroy All Monsters (AIP, and no other!)

[Zone Fighter]

The films between Terror of Mechagodzilla and Godzilla 2000 are horrible. I haven't seen the two latest films so I can't comment on them. I have them I just have gotten around to watching them. If I had to compile a list of the worst films ever made Godzilla vs King Ghidora and Godzilla vs Biolante would top the list.

"Gojira [Godzilla] is a monster of justice."
