Reddit mentions of Godzilla (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

Which today is at Amazon for 19.99 with prime. It is what got me started looking.

You could always get the Criterion release of Gojira/King of the Monsters. The rest are pretty cheap to come by, so it'd be good if you could knock that one out with a gift card.

First of all, don't pirate anything. There are only a couple that you could really justify pirating, but there's no reason to start with those. If you're truly interested and want to support Godzilla, pay for the movies.

A good starting point is the DVD The Godzilla Collection. It contains the following movies:

• Godzilla (1954)
  
• Godzilla Raids Again (1955)
  
• Mothra vs. Godzilla (1964)
  
• Ghidorah, the Three-Headed Monster (1964)
  
• Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965)
  
• All Monsters Attack (1969)
  
• Terror of Mechagodzilla (1975)
  
  In addition to the Japanese versions, all the U.S. edited cuts are included as well. However, I believe the original Godzilla is cropped to be widescreen, so if you want the original aspect ration, I suggest the Criterion release available on Blu-ray or DVD.
  
  A good place to start for some of the more recent movies is The Toho Godzilla Collection, Volumes 1 & 2. This set contains the following:
  
  
• Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
  
• Godzilla vs. Mothra, aka Godzilla and Mothra: The Battle for Earth (1992)
  
• Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993)
  
• Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994)
  
• Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)
  
• Rebirth of Mothra (1996)
  
• Rebirth of Mothra II (1997)
  
• Godzilla 2000: Millennium (1999)
  
• Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000)
  
• Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
  
• Godzilla Against Mechagodzilla (2002)
  
• Godzilla: Tokyo S.O.S. (2003)
  
• Godzilla: Final Wars (2004)
  
  Full disclosure, I think this collection is only on DVD, but all of these movies are also available on Blu-ray in various singe- and multi-disc packs. But if you don't care about Blu-ray, this is a great set.
  
  This doesn't cover every Godzilla movie, but those two box sets are both pretty good ways to start, I think. If you have questions about specific movies or anything else let me know.

sigh These types of threads always get the same answers. Reddit doesn't see many movies. Let me try and add some variety to this thread, mostly with foreign films:

• The 400 Blows- Francois Truffaut's first film, a semi-autobiographical story of a young delinquent. Often considered one of the first films of the French New Wave, and a real masterpiece. You can get it here from the Criterion Collection.
  
  
• Breathless - The other kick-starter of the French New Wave, this one from Jean-Luc Godard (whom I personally hate, but a lot of others love). This and The 400 Blows quite simply changed film forever. Everyone should see them both at some point. You can get it from Criterion as well, here.
  
  
• The Killer - John Woo's amazing action film, centering around an assassin who takes on one last hit, only to be betrayed by his employers. The plot isn't anything special (though better than some Woo movies), but the action is second to none. Dragon Dynasty released it on Blu-Ray and DVD, here's a link.
  
  
• Godzilla - The original and the best. In all the cheesy, "Godzilla fucks shit up" action of every other Godzilla film, it's easy to forget just how somber, dark, and beautiful the original was. Criterion released this one as well, here.
  
  
• The Three Colours Trilogy - Kieślowski's three stunningly beautiful masterpieces. Criterion, yet again, released it. Here you go.
  
  
• Caliber 9 - I always make a point to recommend this. It's from an Italian genre, poliziotteschi, which is basically 70's Italian crime. These films were a big influence on people like Quentin Tarantino, and they're just awesome. You can find this one on Blu-Ray or DVD in the Fernando Di Leo Crime Collection, which gives you several other films by the incredible director as well.
  
  Bonus American film
  
  
• Rear Window - Pretty well known, but too incredible to not include here. One of Hitchcock's best, which is saying something. You can find it on Blu-Ray or DVD here, but I recommend The Alfred Hitchcock Essentials Collection, which contains several more of Hitchcock's best works.
  
  
  Expand your horizons, Reddit. There's so much amazing film out there, you only have to look.
  
  Edit: Added Amazon links, because I really want you all to see some of these films. If even one of you takes an interest, I'll be happy. Foreign films sadly often go ignored by all but cinephiles, but they can really be great, so I urge you all to take a look.
  
  Edit 2: Another day, another ignored wall of text. sigh
