that would be a good light hearted film until the spider shows up... i would not want her to see godzilla vs spacegodzilla. that one is a little rough and the kid is captured near the beginning of all the fighting, :(

yeah, i know but the trapping of him in the chrystal prison is very sad, and makes godzilla want to kill space godzilla.

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.

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

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.
The world would be so much nicer if people only used guns on themselves.

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

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

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.

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.

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?

...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.
