Godzilla Collection (DVD, 2007, 8-Disc Set)

As a life-long fan of the big lizard, I found this collection to be the best single collection of the films available. The selection is great and covers most all of the stages in Godzilla's long career as both a monstrous force of nature and later, defender of the earth. The prints are wonderful- the best out there, and you get both the Japanese and English versions. (Which are often quite different) This set is a terrific buy too at only about 5.00 per movie. I was especially thrilled to get "Godzilla Raids Again"- the RARELY seen sequel to the original film. Simply stated- Get this set!

I absolutely love the godzilla movies and to see them all redone on dvd is great the quality is much imporved over the vcr tapes. I am converting all my godzilla movies to dvd and this is a great addition to the collection.

I think every Godzilla fan should buy this but its a little to expensive and it should only be about 20-40 dollar cost.

There was nothing to dislike about this set. It was exactly what we expected.
Our special needs son is really enjoying the cds even those that are spoken in Japanese

Okay, I admit it, I grew up loving the Godzilla movies in the sixties, so yeah, I will cop to being an itty-bit biased on the subject, but I had to have this set immediately after discovering it, and not just for the fact that they show both sides of each movie. The commentary tracks on the movies are an invaluable source of knowledge and little known (and occasionally previously UNKNOWN) trivia about the making of these movies and the time periods that they were filmed in. Also, the special features are not to be missed, as they offer even more insight into the creation of the series (the one about the making of the first Godzilla suit and the abortive attempts to wear it on disk 1 is both amusing and informative). It is my dearest hope that Classic Media will be making follow-up collections to this set to cover all of the big guy's movies, forming the definitive Godzilla collection, but as of yet, the only other Toho movies that they have done this with are Rodan and War of the Gargantuas, both available in both the original Japanese and in their US release versions, on a single two-disc set which is also available here on Ebay and which I recommend just as highly.
For all of these reasons and the many more that you will discover on your own as you explore these fine DVD treasures, I highly recommend this collection to you whether you are a die-hard fan or just a casual watcher!
