Dmentdcinema.com has a pretty good article highlighting what they consider to be the "Top 15 Giant Monsters" within Cinema.
From the very old to the very new, decades worth of film monsters are included within this list.
Coming in at number one of course is the King of Monsters himself, Godzilla
!Here's what they had to state about why he makes the top of the list:
Could the fact that Godzilla, aka Gojira, is number one on my list be a shock to anyone? After all, the big, fire-breathing Japanese one-monster wrecking crew is the King of the Monsters! First appearing in the 1954 Japanese film "Gojira", Godzilla has since appeared in well over 50 films and remains the world's most popular giant monster. It's unlikely that another will ever come along to unseat Godzilla from his rightful spot at the top of the giant monster heap! Long live Gojria!
Amen brother!
What Superman is to comics is what Godzilla is to giant monsters. Both are the birthplaces of their respective genre, and I'm glad to see that this article recognizes this.
For the full list check it out here.
It's got some surprising mentions such as fan-favorite Cthulhu
, the Clover Monster
, and even that Gigantic Monster from The Mist
