The 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time

Posted on by

Recently  Maane Khatchatourian posted in Variety The 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time.

While I don’t think the list was  a great one, I’ll play along.  Here’s my ranking (and comments for their choices)…

  1. Creature from the Black Lagoon – One of my favorite movies of all time.  I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Creature from the Black Lagoon, but I always enjoy it!  Wondering when it will be updated/rebooted?

  2. The Thing (1982) – I saw it on it’s original theatrical run.  Scary then and scary now.

  3. Alien – Another one I saw when it was first released.  I’ve grown to love it even more over the years.

  4. King Kong – The original Kong is still King.

  5. Bride of Frankenstein and Frankenstein – The Godfather II and Godfather of monster movie sequels.

  6. Jaws – I have a tough time with this one being labeled a monster movie.  Jaws is a classic though.

  7. Jurassic Park – Still the best of the Jurassic Park/World movies.

  8. The Fly (1958) – “Help me.  Help me.”  Chilling.  Another film that I’ve grown to appreciate more over the years.

  9. Gremlins – Not a fan.

  10. Godzilla (1954) – Not a fan of the original Godzilla movies although I watched them enough as a kid with my grandpa.
