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).

@Brojoe

Wow, only a dollar? Where did you get it for such a low price?

@Something Real

A lot of people keep telling me I should get Gojira. XD So that's definitely the direction I'm now going in. Gman also tells me that Godzilla Vs. Monster Zero is awesome as well, so I need to get that one too. So many choices, lol. XD

A dollar? Hmm... Sounds like Classic Media's Bluray disc being sold for a low price since it's obsolete...

Dinozilla, if you buy Bluray's avoid this version at all costs:

Classic Media's Godzilla Bluray

This is the one you want:

Criterion's Godzilla Bluray

The difference is Classic Media's Bluray is a bad upgrade from their DVD. One could argue their DVD looks better. It also has no extras and doesn't include Godzilla: King of the Monsters (American version).

Criterion's version is a complete remaster from Toho's original materials. It's the best the film ever has and ever will look. It also includes the American version and probably more special features than any other Godzilla release.

Classic Media's DVD set is really nice, but... then again, so is Criterion's DVD set... So... if it comes down to DVDs you're on your own there. Criterion's DVD set looks better no doubt, but both DVD sets have incredible special features.

start off with the original japanese masterpiece that started it all it is more realistic than any of the other movies and this is also where godzilla's saga begins ;)

Obviously whichever Godzilla movies you personally enjoyed the most should be the ones you get first. 

Your own personal preferences should influence this decision more than anything else. 

Assuming you like all the movies equally, then you should the one that offers the most extra content on DVD. Many Godzilla DVD's don't offer much in terms of extra insight or features. 

To that end, I've heard great things about the special features for certain editions of the original 1954 DVD. That would be my recommendation if you don't have a strong preference on the film. 

Of course, my main recommendation would just to be the one of the movie you like the best.

I'd say Godzilla's revenge! just kidding Just kidding, NEVER get Godzilla Revenge. But I'd say either

 

A. the original 1954

or

B. Godzilla (2014) when it comes out (we don't know what it's like yet but I bet It's gonna be really good)

or

C.Godzilla (1985).

Thanks everyone! I'll probably get the orginal film (Gojira) first.

@Gman

Alright, and thanks for the info.

@Gojifan02

Yeah, I'm not sure Godzilla's Revenge is at the top of my list. Probably at the bottom, to be honest. XD Also, about the new 2014 movie: if that movie turns out to be good, I'll get it instantly, whether or not I have the money, lol.

Sorry that this response it a little late, guys.
