King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962) marks a major milestone as the first Godzilla film in color and one of Toho’s most iconic monster crossovers. It’s a fun, fast-paced entry that helped bring Godzilla to an even wider audience.

Godzilla Raids Again is a strong follow-up to the original and an important milestone it’s the first film in the franchise to feature a monster battle. The dynamic between Godzilla and Anguirus set the tone for future kaiju rivalries.
