I went with the classic stuff of Toho's heydey from the '50's to 70's as these are the films that are remembered best, rather than the films of the 1990's-onwards..these films were like gold for kids growing up then. You had radioactive dinosaurs, flying monsters, beasts from space, mutants, aliens, the Frankenstein Monster, the Yeti, lost civilizations, robot versions of Kong & Godzilla(!), giant insects, submarines, UFO's, cyborgs, spies and battles between incredible creatures in various locations in Japan. Good times, great adventures.

 Couldn't find the button for " All the above " anywhere.  :)   This one was the hardest poll yet for me.  Went with Godzilla vs Mothra.  Mothra being my favorite Kaiju monster, plus my beloved Godzilla.

They're all GREAT, but DESTROY ALL MONSTERS is my favorite sci-fi film, & fav monster rally, 2nd to A&C Meet Frankenstein.
DAM has it all: Monsters, rockets, flying saucers, aliens, spacemen, heroes & heroines. Monster Kid eye candy at it's finest.

Gotta give a nod to King Kong Escapes too. I have great memories w/this one, my favorite big ape movie.

I love so many of these movies but went with Destroy All Monsters! I love all the different monsters in this one!
Long live the UMA!
