The title says it all.

I'm low on money right now (I'm sixteen- I don't yet have a job and I don't have much left from what I've managed to earn), but when I get a little more I was planning on getting at least one of the movies until I can afford another. That said, I want to know which one you guys think would be the best one for me to get right now, because it might be awhile before I can get another.

Thanks for reading!

(Edit: I don't own any of the movies. Sadly. AND, I've seen a lot of them but not in a really long time, so you don't have to base your answers on whether or not I've seen them or own them, just which one(s) you think I should get).

Do you already have any of them?

No. That's why I'm trying to get them. :( I've seen a lot of them, though.

I'm not sure which ones you have seen already but I would suggest getting Godzilla 2000, GMK, or Godzilla 1984. Those are my personal favorites.

Godzilla 1954 or 1956. Have to have the original!

True. The original is a strong consideration.

I would have to agree with. Junkerde, the original Blu-Ray and Biollante Blu-Ray. You should be able to get both pretty.

So everyone agrees on the first movie. That's probably what I'll aim for then. I've currently got Godzilla: King of the Monsters on Amazon Prime so I'll try to watch it on there even if I can't buy the film right this instant.

Does Amazon Prime have the original Gojira? Because it's simply put, and obviously, a much better version than the Americanized Godzilla: King of the Monsters.

But if you're not going to get one for awhile, also go with what seems fun. Who are some of your favorite monsters? What kind of things do you look for in movies?

Also May 6th has a plethora of films coming out. The wait is long, but might be worth it. Especially since Sony's Bluray are double features/discs.

IT DIDN'T BEFORE, BUT IT DOES NOW. YAY!!!! XD

I'll watch Gojira, then. Last time I checked you had to pay to rent it almost as much as you had to pay to buy it. Like I said, it's free now, though.

And thanks for the advice! Yeah, it might be worth it, so I look into it come May 6th.

Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero and Godzilla Raids Again are also free at the time.

Obvious by my profile picture, but I borderline worship Monster Zero.

If you want Biollante here is a link to Amazon's listing of it.

If you want the original here is the link to Amazon's listing. It is more expensive, it is the Criterion version, but it is definitely worth it.

@Dinozilla

I would easily put Monster Zero in the top 3 Godzilla films. The thing is it's not a great movie for it's monster action, but because of the characters, acting, the sci-fi pulp novelty, the combination of genres...etc... It's not heavy on monster action, but when there is action it's some of the series best. Meanwhile, Glenn is badass.
