Godzilla
Criminally slept-on movie. Without a shadow of a doubt the best iteration of Godzilla outside of Japan, one that captures the true essence of Godzilla embedded in a human story.
A gargantuan sense of scale and sheer divine terror, and a stroke of genius to restrict how much we actually see Godzilla until the end and create an overwhelmingly foreboding sense of horror. With broad, sweeping visuals and a dark, brooding score that becomes almost biblical, alongside some of the best monster sound design of all time.
A masterclass of monster cinema and a massively underrated piece of science fiction.
