The best Godzilla movies for me would be either the original Japanese version or GMK. The original has a unique eerie atmosphere that none of the other G films have been able to match. I think that filming it in black idea was a great idea, because it really enhances the eerie effect of the movie.

1) Godzilla '54
2) Tokyo S.O.S.
3) Godzilla vs. Destroyah
4) Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah
5) Godzilla 1985 - my best friend and I endured the late showing of Sixteen Candles so we would have premium seating for the FREE midnight viewing of G-85 in the same theater.

so far im only up to 1968 Destroy all monsters But the king kong vs Godzilla was crazy I hated the ending though since it suggested that the stupid ape won however I will never forget Godzilla standing on his tail to drop a double kick on Kong that image is seared into my brain it was freaking INSANE!!!!!!!!

A tough choice to make!
The 1954 [i]Gojira[/i] is of course the greatest. A true classic of the monster genre worldwide, not just Japan.
But outside of that, I find I have to divide my favorites up by the decades they came out:
1950s - [i]Gojira[/i] '54 of course! (apologies to [i]Godzilla Raids Again[/i])
1960s - [i]Destroy All Monsters[/i] 1968 - a bit of a controversial choice, as most Godzilla scholars consider [i]Mothra vs Godzilla[/i] the best of the 1960s. [i]M vs G[/i] '64 is indeed a great movie, and it had more hands-on FX work done by the great Eiji Tsuburaya than [i]DAM[/i] did. But ultimately, the big multi-monster throwdown in [i]DAM[/i] thrills me more.
1970s - [i]Terror of MechaGodzilla[/i] 1975 - I like the hippie weirdness of [i]G vs Hedorah[/i] and the design of the monster Gigan has always been a favorite of mine, but the quality is most consistent in [i]TOMG[/i].
1980s - [i]Return of Godzilla[/i] ('84 Japanese version, no offense to Raymond Burr)
1990s - [i]Godzilla vs MechaGodzilla[/i] '93 - great Ifukube music score, a great revamp of MG.
2000s - [i]Godzilla, Mothra, MechaGodzilla: Tokyo SOS[/i] - another somewhat controversial choice. I really want to like [i]GMK[/i] 2001 best, and if Shusuke Kaneko had been free to do exactly what he wanted with the story and had more time to do so, I have no doubt it would be my favorite. But as it stands, I just really like that Kiryu MechaGodzilla design.

The first one I ever saw was King Kong vs. Godzilla, but for me the absolute best is the Original

@Squaredrop
Godzilla vs. Gigan was directed by Jun Fukuda and it was released in 1972. The 1974 Godzilla movie was Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla and it was also directed by Fukuda. Hiroshi Ishikawa never directed a Godzilla movie.

Gojira. I actually didn't see it until two years ago, and it's just devastating, otherwise it flip flops between Godzilla 84 and Godzilla vs Biollante.

Besides [i]Gojira[/i], it's probably [i]Terror Of MechaGodzilla[/i]. [i]Godzilla vs. Monster Zero[/i] is up there, too. I remember renting that movie from the local video store when I was about 4 or 5 and my older brother and I watched it in the dark one night, sitting on the floor in the living room. I don't know why but that memory always stuck out in my mind. Good times, good times.

My fav Godzilla movie is Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster. I like the idea of it taken place on an island , being more adventurous instead of Godzilla and other monsters destroying cities all the time. Plus, Godzilla to me had a cool design look.

It's a tie between the original Japanese version of the film, Gojira and Destroy All Monsters. I really love the theme to Destroy. I even have it on my iPod!

Either the original or Godzilla vs Destroyah. I have to respect what the original did and how good it really is but I can't ever forget the chill I felt when Godzilla jr was dying and Miki says "this might be godzilla's last fight" as Godzilla fights Destroyah

Ghidorah the three headed monster is my favorite. It brought a lot of monsters together(this was before DAM so that's kind of a big deal to have 4 together).
