Kong, Gojira and the Giant Monster Lineage

Watch these as a family tree, from the stop-motion ape of 1933 to Honda's nuclear-age Gojira and the late Heisei sequels where Godzilla fights corporate biotech and finally melts down.

Film-history classics at the root and fan-favourite tokusatsu further down, all easy to watch, though the 1954 Godzilla is a far graver film about the Bomb than its sequels suggest.
