Don't forget The Giant Claw. "It's a bird as big as a battleship!"

What is the "The Thing", sorry never watched the movie before.It's hard to describe what it is without ruining the great story. If you want to know, rent it and I promise you will be glad you did.


Just be sure you get John Carpenter's "The Thing" and not the 1950s black and white version, which if anyone here was scared by that... you're old.

For me, the best monster hands down is Alien. Saw it first when I was way too young and now, in my 30s, still have an occasional nightmare's where I'm on a ship being chased by one or more of them. Yikes!

Ha, you mentioning nightmares reminded me of the only monster that ever gave me nightmares (inexplicably), The Blob, now thats the best (by which I obviously mean laziest) monster concept ever.

For me, it is Gojira (the correct name of Godzilla). Godzilla is the americanized version of the name.

I love those Japanese monster movies.

If you collect them, the must have for your collection is King Kong vs Godzilla and be prepared to laugh your butt off. What Kong lacks in brawn, he makes up for in brains, and that built in joy buzzer.

For me, it's the monster from Colverfield.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloverfield_%28creature%29   I love the conept of a monster on a rapage not because it's evil, but because it's scared, and seeing it from a regular Joe's point of view make it all themore terrifying.
Cloverfield...are you nuts? That's the biggest waste of $9.50 I've ever spent on a movie. It was beyond abysmal, and the ending was absolutely atrocious. It defines why I rarely ever go to the movies, rent, or watch movies period these days.

Although cheesy, the Godzilla movies are at least mildly entertaining, some of them obviously being better than others.

Yup, how this thread got to reply 35 with no mention of Jaws i don't know.

In no particular order,

1-Jaws

2-Alien (not the queen, but the alien from the first movie)

3-The Blob

4-Predator

5-Godzilla

If i had to put a vote on just one of them, i'd say Jaws. I still, nearly 30 years after seeing the movie for the first time, cannot go to the beach without thinking about that movie...

I remember seeing that once, but it indeed was not scary. And FYI for those who haven't seen the Carpenter's version, it is quite "messy".

Only movie i remember getting nightmares from was Poltergeist 2, then again, i was only 8 years old when i saw it.

Don't be such a snob. I can out snob you any day of the week.

2004's Godzilla: Final Wars was directed by bilingual director Ryuhei Kitamura, who went to film school in Austrailia. The movie features characters who speak both English and Japanese, so the name "Godzilla" is used throughout that movie, even though it's a Japanese movie. You can even see "Godzilla" in writing several times during the movie. They also use the name Rodan in that movie, despite the monster's name in Japnese movies being Radon.

Above and beyond that, it was Kitamura who dubbed the American Godzilla, "Zilla, because they took the 'god' out of 'Godzilla.'" And yes, the American and Japanese versions do fight in that movie, for around 14 seconds.

Don't act like you're a super-fan if you're not one. Us real super-fans are much crazier than you are.

And if you said that anybody besides Godzilla is the greatest movie monster of all time, then you're wrong and bad and not my friend.

I was going to go with the pod people from Invasion of the Bodysnatchers, but I have to go with tomatoes from Attack of the Killer Tomatoes due to the current tomato crisis.
