![]() ![]() The “classic” period of Godzilla movies, the Shōwa era contains most of the films people think of when they picture our favorite atomic lizard. That said, Godzilla fans tend to group the movies into several distinct eras, each with a unique tone and take on the big smashy lizard. As long as you start with the first film, you can jump around pretty freely without feeling confused (well, without feeling more confused, as kaiju movies are notoriously dense with their own self-contained lore). Godzilla Movies in Chronological Order of EventsĪs we mentioned, the continuity of the Godzilla franchise isn’t terribly strict. But it does frequently ask you to have at least a passing familiarity with several characters and events, even if the level of familiarity required usually goes no further than being able to point at the screen and say, “That’s Godzilla.” So, we’ve broken down how to watch every Godzilla movie chronologically in order of events, as well as in the order in which they were released, so you can experience the franchise in whichever way you prefer. As it turns out, there’s very little overall continuity, with almost every new installment acting as a standalone feature. There’s been a handful of reboots, roughly a dozen different named monsters, and some repeated themes that have popped up over the decades, which can make the franchise feel more confusing than it actually is. ![]() Kong hitting theaters and HBO Max this week, we thought it would be helpful to provide a handy viewing guide for you to get caught up on the King of the Monsters’ nearly 70-year history. ![]() In the decades since, the King of the Monsters has appeared in no less than 36 official films, roughly a dozen more than the British superspy. It’s been seven decades since he first lurched out of the ocean, bearing tidings of bodacious atomic destruction like your drunkest friend showing up to the Super Bowl party with a crockpot full of “queso dip” made primarily from tap water and 17 packets of macaroni cheese dust. Godzilla is the James Bond of giant lizards. ![]()
