I had to consult my latest rankings. Ghidorah edges out ROG just barely.

I'm with Kong on this one, though it's not an easy choice. While Bio is unquestionably one of the best of the series, and I'd vote for it against most other G films, in this particular case I prefer KKvsG's lighthearted charm and dashes of 1960's goofiness. Once the final battle is joined I challenge any kaiju fan to not look on and smile. I like the interaction of the human characters, the Kinggoji suit is a classic, and Godzilla gets tail-tossed by an enormous electric ape. Pure awesomeness. Plus Ifukube's theme for Kong (reused in 1991 for a different King) is one of his best ever.
I'm not a hero. I'm not a savior. Forget what you know.

I'm just a man whose circumstances went beyond his control.

Really tough, but I'm going with "Kong" on this one.

Another tough choice. I love both movies. But I think I enjoy Biollante just slightly more so I guess that gets my vote.

Biollante is one of my top 3 favorite Godzilla films.

I actually like KKvsG quite a bit, especially the military battles with Godzilla, but Biollante takes this.

I'm going to go Biollante for the simply fact that it is one of a kind. The suit is great and the story is good and on top of that King Kong vs Godzilla is getting a remake in 2020 that will likely be superior.

My vote goes to Biollante.

Both of these are really good, memorable, and downright fun Godzilla movies. I like them both a lot but Godzilla vs. Biollante tops King Kong vs. Godzilla for me.

Ugh, this one's hard... Both films are favorites of mine since childhood, and I'm not sure which I would pick as the better film objectively.
I think Biollante might be my gut response, so I'll go with that. I'm so sorry, KKvsG, it's not you.

Biollante for sure.

It features one of the last hurrahs of a lot of classic International Dubbers like Chris Hilton (Fumio)

Godzilla vs Biollante is one of the better Godzilla movies of the last 30 years, but King Kong vs Godzilla is King Kong vs Godzilla.

No contest. KKvsG.

Hm. This is really tough for me. GMK is a more energetic film. It's perhaps a more fun watch, but it also thinks it's better than it is, and is (imho) the most pretentious film in the franchise, and one of the most pretentious kaiju films period. Terror of Mechagodzilla is a little more thematically taut, and maybe even (for my money) the better movie, but it's also a pretty dour experience, and as much as I like the score, after a while it starts to really wear me down with how often it repeats and how downbeat it is.

They're both in my middle of the pack...

I'm gonna go GMK, but it's the most torn I think I've been on any vote thus far.
