I agree with Officer Torch and Dan, the original Godzilla (1956, US version) is the best. As a kid I didn't realize that the scenes with Steve Martin (Raymond Burr) had been edited into the American version, which is the version that aired on television in the 1960s and 1970s, and showed up Monstervision and AMC in the 1990s.

King Kong vs Godzilla (1962) was fun, especially for younger viewers. As a kid I also liked Rodan (1956), but when I saw it years later it didn't seem so good.

The various sequels got pretty unbelievable, as Torch said. Destroy All Monsters (1968) was one of the more popular ones, because it included several of the Toho monsters.

Rodan didn't seem as good as before, I meant to say, but it was still pretty good compared to the later 1960s Toho flicks.

The voice actors who worked on the American version of Rodan included a young George Takei, later Sulu on Star Trek.
