Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 1:59 pmOoo...this is a tough one. Megalon's my fave. After that comes Gigan and 'Terror of MechaGodzilla'.
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 4:22 pmGodzilla vs MechaGodzilla. Serious, and well.. I personally found it more satisfiying than TOMG. Godzilla barerly made it through that one, and it showed.
Then its Godzilla vs Hedorah which happens to be one of the darkest films of the Showa Era.

Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 6:11 pmI cast my vote for ToMG. Nice to see so many votes for Hedorah. The 'fun' quotient on this lineup is off the charts.
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 6:28 pmI went with Godzilla vs. Gigan. That one'll always be my most sentimental favorite (if you don't count G'85). I really like all of them though.
Posted: Mon Dec 01, 2003 6:53 pmhave to go with Terror of MechaGodzilla. not only do we get MG again, but we get Titanosaurus. plus, the human story isn't too terrible.

Posted: Tue Dec 02, 2003 4:57 pmGodzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. By far the most fun, and that's about all you can ask with this lot. ToMG is arguably better, but it just doesn't feel as right to me. GvsMG is awesome.

If only those prints we saw on scifi were released on DVD!!

Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2003 1:52 amMy favorite would definately be Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla, followed by ToMG and Gigan.
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2003 2:18 amOf all the 70's films, I have to go with Smog Monster. It's the only one, that to me, gets better every time I see it. Plus, it did have some creepy imagery.
Posted: Thu Dec 04, 2003 2:53 amPosted: Thu Dec 04, 2003 10:58 amPosted: Thu Dec 04, 2003 3:06 pmI voted for Terror Of Mechagodzilla,it just seems to me to be the best[atleast in it's complete version],it has most of the goofy and fun 70s elements but has a more serious tone and has rather more depth IMO-the downbeat ending is unusual and interesting-plus the effects are the best of the 70s films.
Second I would probably place Godzilla V Megalon-no,it's not a good movie but it's such FUN!Jet Jaguar getting bigger,Godzilla drop-kicking,the bizarre score,the inept kidnappers,just great fun.
