At some point, yeah. I've never seen that movie before, so it's definitely on the list.
Oh, good! I've got the original DVD releases of both films from Scorpion Releasing. I've heard that the Scorpion Releasing DVD release of Day of the Animals was a big improvement over the original DVD release from Media Blasters/Shriek Show, while for some strange reason the two Blu-ray releases of Grizzly from Scorpion Releasing were absolutely terrible compared to the DVD release.
The films I have (and hope to get) are listed on pg. 35 of this thread (date: Sat., Nov. 17, 2018) and pg. 13 of the thread "What Godzilla movies do you own?" (date: Fri. Nov. 17, 2018).H-Man wrote: ↑Sun Aug 21, 2022 3:02 pm I didn't see (or look for) a thread about the latest non-kaiju Toho films you got on DVD, so I'll just use this thread.

I only get them if they're the only format I can watch certain movies on. Though in the case of 'Godzilla 1985', I know I speak for most of the fandom when I say that it's one movie that's been most in need of a proper/official dvd or blu-ray release for years.SpiderZilla wrote: ↑Thu Sep 22, 2022 3:00 pm Questions for anyone who still purchases Kaiju-related films on VHS:
Are you collecting them solely for their artwork, or do you play them too? Do you play them regularly?
