In reply to the discussion: Why Godzilla matters [View all]LWolf
(46,179 posts)47. This plain American mutt
grew up watching those movies, and I have a strange affection for the toy-like monsters and structures, and the English voice overs that don't fit the movement of the characters' mouths. While I saw them all, and saw Godzilla over and over, the one that hits the top of my favorites list is "War of the Gargantuas." You know: brown good, green bad, battling it out. The brown one actually reminded me a bit of Lurch, lol. I especially liked the energetic shoulder action when they were challenging each other. I actually, when I was about ten, had a nightmare about the green one hunting me, and trying to hide underground where he couldn't find me.

Will they ever do a Godzilla movie where it doesn't keep changing scale?

Loved the old Godzilla movies too. Godzilla, King Kong and other monsters are modern day Titans
