Godzilla: King of the Monsters (1956)
This is the Americanized version of Japan's Gojira, including the insertion of American actor Raymond Burr into the story as a journalist there for Godzilla's rampage through Tokyo. It loses a lot of the anti-nuclear sentiments present in the original, but I think that it still stands up as a pretty solid monster movie. Also, this is the film that gave birth to the LEGEN(waitforit)DARY bad dubbing. The actors' mouths clearly say one word, but the vocal track goes on for a whole sentence.
My Netflix rating: 4 stars
