The Best Classic Godzilla Movies From Japan, Ranked www.vulture.com

The signs begin with the title; Godzilla had just fought his robotic foe in the previous year’s Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla.
Godzilla Raids Again (1955)Quickly produced to capitalize on the global success of Godzilla, Godzilla Raids Again delivers pretty much what its title promises: more of the same.
Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)As part of a struggle to stay profitable and relevant in the 1970s, the Godzilla series looked elsewhere for inspiration.
Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)Hands down the strangest of the classic Godzilla films (even counting the one with the little kid dreaming of Monster Island), Godzilla vs. Hedorah finds Godzilla squaring off against a monster made of pollution.
Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)The misunderstood Mothra made her debut in Honda’s 1961 film, Mothra.
