I didn't know quite what forum to put this in so I put it here. Anyway, my friend who has never seen a full kaiju movie before wants to watch a movie tomorrow and I don't know which one to show because I have all of them. Any ideas? I want one with more than 1 monster too. And preferably a Godzilla movie.

This probably belongs in General Discussion, but try KOTM, Gamera 2 or 3, GMK, or even GxMG.

<font color='#0000FF'>Hmmm, GMK would be good. I let 2 of my friends borrow some vhs tapes, and out of what was there they really like Destroyah. I would go with GMK.

Its really going to depend on what type of taste your friends have. I'll assume you want to show them newer films as well.
For something that is just fun to watch - I would say GXM or GXMG.
For something serious - G54, GvB, G85 or GMK.
Then there is the whole Heisei Gamera series which is just excellent. But I would want them to see them in order so the get the full effect and can see how they progress.

I would say G'85 or G'54 since they wouldn't need to have seen any other movies to understand whats going on and whos who. Plus those are usually thought to be some of the best G films. http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/kinggojismilie.gif

<font color='#000080'>Me and me two friends Godzilla movies all the time together. I'm the one who got then into kaiju! Every time we sleepover my house we watch one, just monday night we watched Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla, and they both liked it,e specially the one.
If your friend wants to watch something serious, GMK, the first Goji and G'84 are your best ideas. If he wants to watch something humorous or just funny, Ghidrah the Three Headed Monster, Godzilla vs. The Sea Monster and Godzilla vs. Gigan are good ideas. But if he just wants to watch some nasty kaiju action, Destroy all Monsters, Terror of Mechagodzilla, Godzilla vs. Spacegodzilla and Godzilla vs. Destroyah are the best in my mind.

If I had to add
to the mix, I'd also say
G vs. Megaguirus
'cause it's so much FUN

<font color='#0000FF'>G'54 or G'85 are good to avoid any continuity confusion, and, to my mind, they capture the "essence" of kaiju tragedy the best.
King Kong '33 is also good.
The original Rodan is also very good.

You didnt need to add it, GXM is already listed under the fun category. http://www.kaijuphile.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Godzilla X Mechagodzilla. Terror of Mechagodzillas good I showed my freinds that one, or Gamera 3. Godzilla vs King Kong is excellent the designs and every thing are great considering it was made in 1962.
