I love them, but I didn't vote for them because I just don't really think of them as Horror. They may get grouped in, but to me they were always more Sci-Fi/Action/Adventure.

You got all of them? -- nice! You have a ton more than me.
Good to hear there's plenty of us that appreciate them! I certainly consider all of them in the Horror film category. A giant monster, usually backed by space aliens, trying to destroy cities and take over the Earth... that's a safe bet to call it a Horror movie, don't you think? Basically, if _V_ lists them, I consider voting for them, with very few exceptions.
There are some fine art Horror films in the 'Giant Monster' subgenre. Gojira/Godzilla film gets a nod, but it's an absurdity that none of the others get serious consideration. For those with an appreciation for art of film audio, color, lighting, mixed media, and creativity, personally I think Gojira Tai Hedorâ (Godzilla Vs the Smog Monster) is a truly great art film. As a creator of a weekly radio show, I say, the jazz & orchestral musical score and sound in the film is fantastic. Sorry to see so many excellent works get ignored by our group.
