My girlfriend wants to watch a Godzilla movie - which one?

For discussions covering more than one Toho film or show that span across more than one “era.”

I would go with GMK, Biollante, or Godzilla vs. Mothra.

Mothra vs. Godzilla, cuz it's a great movie and chicks seem to dig Mothra.


I laughed when I first read this, them stopped to think about it, and your right! Chicks do seem to like Mothra (Although I admit I don't know many who watch Godzilla). I think it's the fairies that does it.
You know, Darth Vader cannot be Luke Skywalker's father. They don't have the same last name.

the first godzilla vs mothra (the one done in the 60's), it has humor, action and a serious side to it.

S'why I got that big Mothra tat on my chest. Works like a voodoo charm.

I'd say Mothra vs. Godzilla, too. If she's not grabbing your arm and going "get up! get up!" when Godzilla's getting set to stomp Mothra, then she's not the one.

What if she's rooting for Godzilla? :)

Final Wars. It's fun, accessible, crazy, campy, modern-looking, has strong ties to current(ish) pop culture (Star Wars, The Matrix, X-Men) and even has a bit of a heart (the Minya subplot). Final Wars is the Godzilla movie for non-fans.

If Mothra vs Godzilla is her first Godzilla film, she won't be rooting for Godzilla.

I agree that Mothra vs. Godzilla would be a good starting point. It's not too dark, not too campy; it's overall probably the best G film.

Son of Godzilla might also be a good choice, if she likes a sweeter, more lighthearted film. I might also suggest Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla for a fun action flick.

...I've never seen any one root for Godzilla in The Return Of Godzilla. Also, that would fall into the same category as Godzilla: Dark and kinda depressing. Not something that you want to show your girlfriend as the first example of Godzilla.

What about Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla '74? It's one of the best Godzilla films of the 70's and the tone of the movie is not too dark or campy.

Don't watch a Godzilla movie with your girlfriend.

Act one out. Role play. Dress up in rubber suits and wrestle. Trust me, it's fun. :P


In all seriousness, Godzilla vs. Biollante would be my first suggestion. GMK, The Return of Godzilla, and Mothra vs. Godzilla would be my other suggestions. If she's a hardcore film buff, Gojira would be good choice too.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like Mothra vs Godzilla is the favorite. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

The only possible snag is that the rest of the movies can't quite live up to it.

In all seriousness it's kinda weird what few female monsters we do have some seem to like doing the penetrating (Biollante, Megaguirus, Legion).

Only Gamera can get raped by a female monster, get prego from said rape, and still be called a hero.

The obnoxious kid protagonists took a mini-sub inside Gamera and found a way to kill the baby.
