Godzilla Titles Streaming on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon

Undoubtedly there are some fans of the new Godzilla movie leaving the theatre wanting more.  Warning for anyone who has seen the new one, but hasn't seen any older titles: some are going to be hard to watch.  There are some truly terrible (but still fun) Godzilla movies, and some that are damn near perfect.  This list contains them all!

0. Gojira

The original Godzilla movie.  This film is pretty much required viewing.

Featured monsters:

1. Godzilla: King of Monsters

The Americanized original.  This film is mostly the same footage from the Japanese version, but with an added American plot.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla

Netflix
Hulu Plus

2. Godzilla Raids Again

Also known as "Gigantis: The Fire Monster", this was the first sequel to Godzilla.  It also is the first time Godzilla fights another monsters.

3. Godzilla vs King Kong

The third Godzilla film in the series, this film is also the first featuring King Kong and Godzilla in color!

7. Godzilla vs the Sea Monster

- Minilla
- Kumonga

Unfortunately (or luckily), this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

9. Destroy All Monsters

This one takes place in the future, all monsters have been isolated to Monster Island, until somebody starts mind-controlling them to attack the world.

- Manda

- Kamacuras
- Anguirus
- Gorosaurus
- Manda
- Kumonga
- Ebirah

14. Terror of Mechagodzilla

Mechagodzilla comes back for round two, and features another personal favorite monster of mine, Titanosaurus.  There's no logic behind my favorites.

- Godzilla
- Mechagodzilla
- Titanosaurus


15. Godzilla 1985

Known as "Return of Godzilla" everywhere besides the US, this marked the start of a new era for Godzilla, known as the Heisei series.  These films ignore every previous Godzilla film other than the first one, making this a direct sequel to Gojira.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

16. Godzilla vs Biollante

Here is the first Godzilla film in the Heisei series to feature Godzilla fighting another monster.  Strangely, the story on this one began as a writing contest.  The original idea for the film was created by a dentist.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla
- Biollante

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

17. Godzilla vs King Ghidorah

This is the first appearance of Ghidorah in the Heisei series.  It is about time travel, and there's a terminator or something.  It's actually really great.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla
- King Ghidorah
- Mecha-King Ghidorah (Yeah, you read that right!)

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

18. Godzilla vs Mothra: The Battle for the Earth

First appearance of Mothra in the Heisei series.  Also features Battra, which is like Mothra, but a bat.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla
- Mothra
- Battra

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

19. Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla II

This film has nothing to do with any previous Godzilla films, so I'm not sure how it got that title.

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla
- Mechagodzilla
- Rodan
- Baby Godzilla
- Mecha-King Ghidorah

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

20. Godzilla vs Space Godzilla

In this one, some Godzilla DNA goes to space and forms Space Godzilla!

21. Godzilla vs Destroyah

Godzilla vs Destroyah is the last film in the Heisei series, and kind of features Godzilla dying...

- Destroyah
- Baby Godzilla

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

22. Godzilla 2000

This was the first film in the new Millennium era, it also had a US theatrical release, most likely to help us forget Godzilla 1998.  None of the Millennium films are available to stream for free, so if that's what you are here for, you can stop reading here!

Featured monsters:
- Godzilla
- Orga

Unfortunately, this title is currently not streaming anywhere!

23. Godzilla vs Megaguirus

Some people try to send Godzilla through a black hole, but an insect goes through, gets mutated, and comes back giant.
