Interesting you're including the Americanizations.

But Monster Zero--By far.

I love all the films of the period, save for Raids Again, but my favorite has always been Mothra vs. Godzilla, with Invasion of Astro-Monster close behind.

Mothra vs. Godzilla for me.

A true fan can acknowledge the bad while still appreciating and cherishing the good.

King Kong vs Godzilla is mine.

Zwei Wing is the best singing duo. Change my mind.

Personally, I like the original. It feels like a more serious movie. Which is not what most people want from a Godzilla movie, but it is a metaphor and warning. That is what Godzilla is to me.

expecting the worst, sets you up for thr worst

SarcasticKaiju It may not be my personal favorite, but it is, without a doubt, the best one.
