Gojira, it appears to me that you think any modern horror films can't hold a candle to your Godzilla films. Frankly, it just sounds like a bitter middle aged man holding onto his favorites from childhood. I should know, I AM a bitter 30 year old, and I think everything made between TCM('74) and A Nightmare On Elm Street('84) is the golden age. So I can relate to you viewing your formative years fondly. But to dismiss Halloween, The Shining and TCM is just laughable, really. I defend these movies to the death since I grew up watching them, but even a younger fan can see that they are great films. I think you really need to expand your horizons just as you wish others would expand theirs to include Godzilla.

Bottom line is, we all think the horror movies that shaped us when we were young are the greatest...maybe we remember them too fondly through nostalgia sometimes, but it doesn't make that opinion wrong. But to ignore movies just based on a bias is wrong ...and that goes for people ripping on Godzilla too.(like me;) )
