godzilla (1954)

aka Gojira.
Ships are being mysteriously sunk at sea, then buildings crushed. The government send in a research team to investigate what is actually happening and soon discover Godzilla. But what made Godzilla appear now, what is the monster going to do next and can it be destroyed?
The original monster movie that spawned an entire genre. It's a much more serious film than it's offspring, being an anti-nuclear diatribe, where the monster is disturbed and made more dangerous due to American nuclear tests. A gritty and realistic drama from a time before Godzilla became the protector of Tokyo and all rubber suit cuddliness! This monster is a real radiation breathing, nuclear menace and we see the human tragedy that his actions have on the population. The original and best.
