Kaiju Transmissions - Ranking All the Godzilla Films!

Ok did the survey. Based on the results I would say the middle area could switch around a little since I sometimes rank these on the day or how recently I've rewatched them, so with a grain of salt my final results were:

Really hard, we're talking about a list of like 30 movies here

Yeah, ranking these is very difficult. I think the main focus during the podcast will be the top 10 and the bottom 5, which for my personal rankings the preference revealer seemed to get right. The middle was a little more tricky. 

Darth Tyrant,
Read his full original post. That's why you use the link he gave to simplify the process.

Yeah I would say the top and bottom of my list are pretty correct, and the middle being out of wack is probably my fault for doing some votes without thinking, or misclicking.

Fun little thing though, some rankings on the top half were really close so on a different day my list may look a lot different.

^1998 should be the lowest

Well Gman it's still pretty hard to choose my preferences

^In your opinion maybe, while I don't love the 98 movie and think it has a lot of problems, I could levy the same sentiment toward all the ones I put below it.

According to that link, here are my results.

1. Godzilla 1954

2. Shin Godzilla 2016

3. Monster zero 1965

4. Ghidrah the three headed monster 1964

5. Terror of mechagodzilla 1975

6. Godzilla Mothra and King ghidorah giant monsters all out attack 2001

7. Mothra vs Godzilla 1964

8. King Kong vs. Godzilla 1962

9. Godzilla vs Biollante 1989

10. Godzilla vs the sea monster 1966

11. Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 1974

12. Destroy all monsters 1968

13. Godzilla 2000 (1999)

14. Return of Godzilla 1984

15. Son of Godzilla 1967

16. Godzilla vs mechagodzilla 1993

17. Godzilla vs gigan 1972

18. Godzilla 2014

19. Godzilla vs King ghidorah 1991

20. Godzilla vs Destoroyah 1995

21. Godzilla raids again 1955

22. Godzilla vs hedorah 1971

23. Godzilla final wars 2004

24. Godzilla Tokyo SOS 2003

25. Godzilla against mechagodzilla 2002

26. Godzilla's Revenge 1969

28. Godzilla vs Mothra 1992

29. Godzilla vs Megaguirus 2000

30. Godzilla vs spacegodzilla 1994

31. Godzilla 1998

I question most of these because some are a little bit worse than others but my top 5 are correct and the bottom 5 are correct.

Age: 26

Sorry. Top 10 are correct. My bad.

As with others, I agree that for the most part the top and bottom of this list is correct  (though maybe not in the correct order) with the middle being pretty scattered. Though I'd still love to see how the list looks once all the data is put together. I am 26. Here's my list: 

Godzilla (1954)

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)

Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)

Godzilla Mothra King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)

Godzilla (1998)

Godzilla Raids Again (1955)

Son of Godzilla (1967)

Fairly close. There might be a couple that could flip/flop. I never saw Shin Godzilla, although I feel fairly confident that I'd like it more than many on this list, which is why it ended up where it did.

Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)

Godzilla's Revenge (1969)

Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972)

Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973)

Godzilla (1998)

What gets me is, how interchangeable these movies are in my list. Granted, the top 10 are a no-brainer for myself and the bottom 5 are right. The top 10 are basically my "go to" films and that's not even including other great Kaiju films like Gamera 3 1999, Gamera guardian of the universe 1995, or even Ultraman the next 2004. If I were to include those films, my top 10 would be a completely different story. 

Thanks for all the responses so far - we will probably close the thread in a few weeks so I can tally everything - keep the results coming! :)

Bump! Hoping for responses! :D

Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)

Godzilla (1998)

Godzilla's Revenge (1969)

I definitely feel like 1-7 are correct, though I think 2000 (the first G movie I watched) should be below Biollante, and my bottom 10 are also correct, but G14 isn't one of my top ten (top 12, though), and several Showa Era movies are lower on the list than I think they ought to be, because the Showa Era was what I watched the most when I was younger. I think Vs Mechagodzilla, Ghidrah, and Hedorah should be higher up.

Interesting Quiz-thing. :) Also, I'm 18.

(and before anyone berates me for having 98 higher on the list, it's cause Nostalgia. XD It was my first Kaiju film. I understand it's a terrible movie.)

^Nice to see you around again, Nate.

21 here (22 in 4 days though). Been a fan since around the age of 3. Figured if I was gonna use your poll to satisfy my own curiosity, I might as well make an account to share my results with you. Probably should have waited a day as I happen to be going through all of them currently and still need to get to the Showa Mechagodzillas, Megaguirus, and Final Wars but I was impatient.

Overall I think this list is pretty accurate to my preferences. I think Shin Godzilla and G14's positions are a little inflated on the list, and Monster Zero seems a little low, but my top four and bottom seven are accurate, and a lot of my middle-of-the-road films tend to be interchangeable and fluctuate frequently. If I retook the test I imagine my list would change a bit.

1. Godzilla (1954)

2. Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)

3. Godzilla (2014)

4. Godzilla Final Wars (2004)

5. Godzilla Mothra King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
