The edited version of Godzilla with Raymond Burr premiered in the U.S in 1956, but I didn't get to see it until late 1958 when The Bronx Theater showed it.

The first Godzilla film is my favorite.
I have both versions, Gojira and Godzilla on DVD and I like them both.

In 1960 when I saw "Gigantis the Fire Monster" I thought it was going to be some other monster, but as soon as "Gigantis" appeared, I thought, what the heck is this?? That's Godzilla.

Anyway Gigantis, renamed "Godzilla Raids Again" is my second favorite.

Then I guess it would be "King Kong vs Godzilla" and "Godzilla vs Mothra."

Like Torch, I didn't care for the later Godzilla films when he became a hero and fought different monsters. The films were too silly for me. Had I seen them when I was kid, I'd have liked them a lot better.

Despite the bad reviews, I liked "Godzilla 1985"
I never saw the Japanese version which is supposed to be better than the updated edited American version with Raymond Burr.

As for the newer Godzilla films, I liked them much better than the older silly ones, but not as well as the first four.

And the American film with Mathew Broderick, "Godzilla" (1998) should never have been called Godzilla. I was very disappointed when I saw that.

It was ok as a giant monster flick I guess, but it was not The Godzilla we all know and that soured me on this film.
