Godzilla

So much Godzilla.... I think I might explode!
This pack features some of the greatest Godzilla movies of all time (exluding "King Kong vs. Godzilla" and "Godzilla vs. Megalon" which they should have put in). "Godzilla: King of the Monster" (1956) is the first and one of the best of all the series! Stark black and white makes it the scariest of all the films! "Godzilla vs. Mothra" (1964) is a great addition in here, seeing how it's the first movie where Godzilla and Mothra meet! "Godzilla vs. Monster Zero" (1965) is one of the best Ghidorah movies of the series. This film features 3 monsters including Godzilla , Rodan, and of course the title character... Ghidorah (called Monster Zero in this film). "Godzilla's Revenge" (1969) is cool to me because Toho stole alot of scenes from all the other Godzilla films and stuck them in here. So, I can watch all the best fight scenes without having to change movies. This one features Godzilla's son, Minya. Last, but...

funkalicious!
if you love godzilla for what he is, this is the package for you. the titles included in this set are: godzilla: king of monsters, godzilla vs. mothra, godzilla vs. monster zero, godzilla's revenge, and terror of mechagodzilla. all these and extra fancy monkeyjunk like screensavers, trivia, and galleries for under 50 bucks? that's a (PUN ALERT!!) monster of a deal! what's keeping this from being five stars? unfortunatly, there's a little foible in terror of mechagodzilla. for some dumb reason, the manufacturers (spellcheck) forgot the audio for the final battle. i checked with amazon, and they say that it's the manufacture problem, and they're doing everything they can to get get it fixed. so unless you HAVE to get the awesome-possum audio, or you're too lazy to make up the sound effects, this is a great set of dvds. and hopefully the audio will be fixed and i'll give it five stars.

THE classic monster movie
Well, I was browsing Amazon's streaming-video offerings, came across this and was aghast that it had no reviews yet because this is THE best monster movie ever. I first saw this on TV when I was a kid. It scared the stuffing out of me then and still has the power to give me chills 50+ years (and numerous viewings) later. Everything works -- the opening scene, the building tension, the monster, the scenes of destruction, the music, everything. No sequel or remake has ever come remotely close to the power of this black-and-white marvel. The original "Frankenstein" and "King Kong" are in the same pantheon of excellence, but this one stands a step higher than even those gems.
