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

[Godzillaprime05]

If your going for sad GvD or Tokyo SOS, Madison was close to. Balling when Mothra pushed herself into the air to save her kids from Godzilla's ray. Then again it might have had something to do with her mom.

[kaiju115]

I say either the original Godzilla vs Mothra, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla 2, or Godzilla vs Destoroyah.

[Qaenos]

what movies have you seen together, that you know that she enjoyed? that would help us to help you with this choice.

We like "dark" movies. We enjoy supernatural horror / thrillers. Like The Omen. I thikn everybody enjoys a good comedy, but finding a good one is hard. We do have a dark sense of humour (like Bad Santa).

Dude, TMI! Oh, wait, you meant "bawling." My bad.

So how'd it go, Qaenos? Did you watch M vs. G yet? What'd she think?

GMK, Biollante, and Terror of Mechagodzilla are my recommendation. Terror may not be super dark but for a late Showa film it has a rather depressing story to end the first series with.

The original Japanese version of Gojira
Or The Japanese version of Godzilla Returns aka Godzilla1985
Or the Japanese version of Godzilla Raids Again
Those are the more serious ones.

Or The Japanese version of Godzilla Returns aka Godzilla1985

I believe you have those titles reversed. G1985 is the American version.

Or the Japanese version of Godzilla Raids Again
Those are the more serious ones.

Ha ha ha ha ha!!! No, sorry, GRA is hardly a serious film.

[Patrick Alan]

More serious than the english dub

[Rody]

Perhaps so, but compared to the rest of the series, it's still not too serious of a film. I would dare say that GFW is a more serious film in some ways.

[Patrick Alan]

I found it kinda serious, The dude sacraficed himself (just like in Gojra)
And Godzilla ripped out Anguirus's throat, and set his dying corpse ablaze! ther than Other than the criminals running around, I found the movie kinda serious.

[BigBaragon]

My wife (then girlfriend) really loves:

First 90s Mothra
Godzilla vs. Hedorah (She is OBSESSED with the 'Save the Earth' scene, and even dances to it at times...)
Final War
The Host
Godzilla's Revenge

[ZillaMaster91]

Years ago when I used to have a girlfriend, her favorite was Godzilla vs. Destoroyah.
We also watched Final Wars, but we kind of snoozed out halfway through it - could you blame us?

[GodGan]

Godzilla vs Destroyah if she likes sad movies
Godzilla Final wars if she likes epic movies
Godzilla vs Hedorah if she likes weird movies
Godzilla's revenge if she likes funny and nice movies

[miguelnuva]

Anything with a Baby Godzilla expect the 98 Godzilla.

[GotengoXGodzilla]

Godzilla Final wars if she likes epic movies

...Except that Godzilla: Final Wars is not "epic". "Epic" implies a larger than life feel in many different respects, including story, setting, scale, time period (most epics are set in the past) and many others. GFW is none of those.

An example of an epic film would be Ben-Hur, Lawrence Of Arabia, The Ten Commandments, Gone With The Wind and Spartacus. I don't see any similarities between those films and GFW.

[Rody]

GFW is even less epic than the Transformers films.

I'm not sure ANY of the Godzilla films could be considered epic.

[GotengoXGodzilla]

GFW is even less epic than the Transformers films.

I'm not sure ANY of the Godzilla films could be considered epic.

I agree. There is no Godzilla film that I would call an "epic".

[Rody]

...Which is a shame.

[miguelnuva]

If you look at the showa series as a whole maybe it could be an epic.
