which Showa film(s) has the most nostalgic feeling to you?

[Kaiser]

Godzilla, King of the Monsters (Japanese version is superior but American edit feels more nostalgic)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (ditto with above)
Mothra vs. Godzilla
Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster
Godzilla vs. Gigan
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

[Dillyziller]

Destroy All Monsters

[Gooberzilla]

Mine is actually Godzilla's Revenge, it was my fav as a kid lol. My how things have changed! My second most "nostalgic feeling" G movie is King Kong vs Godzilla.

[ArchdukeCaligula]

I believe the first showa movie I watched was Godzilla: King of the Monsters or Terror of Mechagodzilla. I had the Simitar tapes and my dad's friend would record the movies on to old tapes, which is how I saw most of my Godzilla movies

[gigandude]

Godzilla's revenge, Godzilla vs Megalon, Terror of Mechagodzilla and GvsB.

[Breakdown]

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, Godzilla 1985 and Godzilla King of the Monsters have the most nostalgia for me, being the first few Godzilla films I watched as a child.

Also, after seeing other people's posts it's interesting to see that a majority have Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla or Terror of Mechagodzilla on there.

[H-Man]

I'd say Godzilla vs. Gigan and Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster. I also have a bit of nostalgia for Godzilla's Revenge, because I tried to convert two of my friends into Godzilla fandom with it when I was in the fourth grade. Lord knows what I was thinking back then.

[Godzillian]

Ghidorah the three headed monster. I always rented it along with a bunch of other Godzilla films when I would visit my grandparents as a kid.

[Jinx]

I grew up with tons of Godzilla VHS tapes, but the two that always seem to take me back and make me feel like a little kid sitting in-front of the TV again are Godzilla vs. Gigan and Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla. Something about those two movies make everything in the world okay.

[JAGzilla]

Probably King Kong vs Godzilla, Mothra vs Godzilla, and Godzilla vs Monster Zero. KKvsG was my first kaiju film, and the first I owned on VHS. I watched it dozens of times as a kid, and it remains one of my favorites. Kinggoji, particularly the sequence where he's walking toward the train tracks, is still one of the first things that comes to mind when I think 'Godzilla'.

MvsG and GvsMZ were, if memory serves, the second and third G-movies I watched, when I rented them from Blockbuster. I only saw them twice and once, respectively, as a kid, but they still stuck with me. They're roughly my two favorites, now.

Honorable mention: Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla. I don't think I liked this one as much back then, and have no opinion on it now, not having seen it in several years. Still, I clearly remember watching in awe as Godzilla and King Seesar double-teamed and decapitated Mechagodzilla.

Smog Monster and Megalon were the only other Showa movies I saw in their entirety as a kid, and neither did much for me. I remember little bits and pieces from back then, but nothing I considered particularly special.

[Oldschool62]

Godzilla vs the Smog monster notably the toys I could not have. Godzilla vs Megalon. I laughed my head off. I watched a lot of wrestling back then. Godzilla vs the sea monster. Just like James bond. My memories may be off now because I remember the w o r 9 Godzilla shows and dates differently than reported on the internet.

[Mecha-SpaceGhidorah]

Invasion of Astro-Monster (then know to me as Godzilla vs. Monster Zero). It was the second Godzilla movie I ever saw, it was on one of those Saturday sci-fi movie blocks along with Gamera vs. Gyaos. I recorded them and watched that tape, I'd say at least once a month for a year.

That's followed closely by Destroy All Monsters. That's the first one I ever saw and I got the chance to recorded it after awhile too.

Those three films make up so much of my childhood right there. Ah, good times. Good times.

[WebHead]

I would have to say Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, when I was a kid I watched it all the time after i recorded it from syfy.

[PRIMEVAL]

I've watched Godzilla vs The Thing, Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla, and Terror of Mechagodzilla the most as a kid. Ghidrah and the Astro monster of I've only seen bits and pieces of as a kid but still gives me a bit of nostalgia just reminiscing.

[RolandEmmerich4EVR]

Ghidorah the Three-Headed Monster. It's probably not one of the better Godzilla films objectively speaking, but it has what I consider to be the best monster lineup of the series. When I was younger, it was the film that introduced me to Mothra, Rodan, and Ghidorah, which remain Toho's most important kaiju alongside Godzilla. I feel it's underrated because it didn't establish the Godzilla vs ________ formula the way Mothra vs Godzilla did, and didn't pack in as many kaiju as DAM.

[daijinryuu775489]

1) King Kong vs. Godzilla
2) Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster
3) Son of Godzilla
4) Godzilla vs. Megalon
5) Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla

Underrated ? I always assumed GTTHM was liked pretty well by a good portion of the fandom but yeah GTTHM has a lot of nostalgia for me too

[Dr. Professor]

Son Of Godzilla. It was always one of my favorite films when I was little, and it still is.

I actually have a friend who cried during the end of it once. But it was because the medication he was on made him very emotional for some reason.
