Top 10 Giant Movie Monsters

I incidentally watched a clip about the Top 10 Giant Movie Monsters on Youtube.

Top 10 Giant Movie Monsters http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=CTVvok4S_9E

Here is the complete list.

  1. Tadpole Thing - The Host (2005)
  2. The Kraken - Clash of the Titans (1981)
  3. Brontosaurus - The Lost World (1925)
  4. Reptilicus - Reptilicus (1961)
  5. Stay Puff - Ghostbusters (1984)
  6. The Beast - The Beast from 20000 Fathoms (1953)
  7. Gamera - Gamera Series (1965~2006)
  8. Godzilla - Godzilla Series (1954~2004)
  9. King Kong - King Kong (1933)
  10. The Giant Claw - The Giant Claw (1957)

I still remember how I was amazed when I saw Gamera in big screen and I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Stay Puff stumbling alone the main street.

But I wonder which monster is the very first movie monster. I bet it’s the dragon in Fritz Lang’s Die Nibelungen: Siegfried.

What about Kitten Kong from The Goodies? youtube.com/watch?v=OhKcKvi1M0g

Birth of a Nation had the Klan. No, wait: In that moview they were supposed to be the good guys.

I see they have Harryhausen’s Kraken in there. His films are a guilty pleasure of mine.

imdb.com/title/tt0057197/ for example. Nobody watches that film for anything except the skeletons at the end. I’ve seen that film shitloads of times and can never remember which guy Jason is.

I thought Gertie (1914) was the first one.

She’s not scary though.

I watched Cloverfield this weekend and they had a good one, but they didn’t show it clearly enough.

Yeah Cloverfield, why do monsters never attack on a sunny clear day?
