Godzilla - The Showa Series 1954-75

The list author says:
	"1954 / 96 minutes / The first and the best.  This is the definative Japanese language version."

The list author says:
	"1955 / 82 minutes.  Another darker, more serious entry in the series.  Better than reputation.  Avoid the crap American version - Gigantis the Fire Monster."

The list author says:
	"1962 / 91 minutes.  Only officially available in the crap, butchered re-edited American version - Avoid like the plague.  The full 97 min. Japanese version is only available on bootleg editions, alas."

The list author says:
	"1964 / 89 minutes.  Fine entry in series, again, avoid the duff American dubbed version."

The list author says:
	"1964 / 93 minutes.  Terrific fun, but avoid shorter cut US edition."

The list author says:
	"1965 / 94 minutes.  Another splendid entry in series, aka. Monster Zero."

The list author says:
	"1966 / 87 minutes.  Colourful, jazzy, summery series entry set on south-seas island."

The list author says:
	"1967 / 86 minutes.  Another light, jazzy south-seas set tale."

The list author says:
	"1968 / 89 minutes.  Good-natured monster rally.  Get the Region 4 Australia PAL DVD which is uncut and in Japanese. This is duff US dubbed effort."

The list author says:
	"1969 / 70 minutes.  Enjoyable entry firmly aimed at kids; good fun.  Wait for new US edition from Classic Media due soon = uncut and in Japanese.  This version is widescreen, but dubbed."

The list author says:
	"1971 / 85 min.  Utterly sureal entry in series that warns of the dangers of pollution; a gem!  Aka. Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster."

The list author says:
	"1972 / 89 minutes.  Mad aliens use monster Gigan to attack Earth!"

The list author says:
	"1973 / 81 minutes.  The silliest and most outrageous entry in the series.  Only available from Australia (PAL, Region 4)."

The list author says:
	"1974 / 84 minutes.  Mechagodzilla debuts in good episode.  Be warned: there are two other films in series with same title (1993 and 2002)."

The list author says:
	"1975 / 83 minutes.  Last entry in the original "Showa" series of Godzilla films is only available uncut and widescreen in Australia (Region 4, PAL)"
