4. "Giant Phantom Monster Agon" or "Agon: Atomic Dragon"

Interesting that this monster was considered such a blatant knock-off of "You-Know-Who."

I don't see any resemblance, do you?

5. I am sure the Sets were cheap and this was a knock off of

We know who, but its still fun. I remember after seeing Gojira for the first time, I was HUNGRY
for some more "Kaiju" action films... and there were lots of them made, apparently in Japan. Its rare to find these movies, now a days, and Thanks to YOUTUBE we can find these movies!

7. I wish they would do more practical effects

movies. While I enjoy the CGI monsters, you don't get the visceral feel of The Fly, The Thing, Alien/Aliens with modern movies.

The guys in rubber suits are fun as well. I still think the 50s and 60s horror movies and the 60s television shows like The Outer Limits feel more real than the CGI produced today.

8. I am not sure I agree, My favorite movie of all time is now

SHIN GODZILLA and for the first time, in Japan, there wasn't a guy in a SUIT!!
