Not the first giant monster movie, but it established a different kind of monster movie, where the enormous creature could be sympathised. This also goes to show that the monster doesn't have to be a giant reptile or amphibian entirely bent on destroying the city. Now, for the colorized DVD.

Is there any possible way to make a list a giant monster movies without including Godzill? Well, here it is.

A giant octopus...wow. Created by special effects genius, Ray Harryhausen.

A British monster movie...yeah.

Godzilla's triumphant return after a 9 year hiatus.

A Korean film about a giant monster that attacks...where else? Korea.
