The Godzilla series really took off during the 1960s, with the decade seeing the release of entries like Mothra vs. Godzilla ...

Sure, the idea of seeing humanity grapple with a large monster is always intriguing, and Godzilla himself was instantly iconic, but that first movie does end rather conclusively (spoilers).

Godzilla has been presented in just about every format imaginable but in another timeline, we'd have gotten a 3D Godzilla from a slasher director too.
