Recently\u00a0 Maane Khatchatourian <\/strong>posted in Variety The 10 Best Monster Movies of All Time<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While I don’t think the list was\u00a0 a great one, I’ll play along.\u00a0 Here’s my ranking (and comments for their choices)…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Creature from the Black Lagoon<\/strong><\/em> – One of my favorite movies of all time.\u00a0 I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Creature from the Black Lagoon<\/strong><\/em>, but I always enjoy it!\u00a0 Wondering when it will be updated\/rebooted?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    The Thing<\/strong><\/em> (1982) – I saw it on it’s original theatrical run.\u00a0 Scary then and scary now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Alien<\/strong><\/em> – Another one I saw when it was first released.\u00a0 I’ve grown to love it even more over the years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    King Kong<\/strong><\/em> – The original Kong is still King.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  5. \n

    Bride of Frankenstein<\/strong><\/em> and Frankenstein<\/strong> <\/em>– The Godfather II<\/strong><\/em> and Godfather<\/strong> <\/em>of monster movie sequels.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  6. \n

    Jaws<\/strong><\/em> – I have a tough time with this one being labeled a monster movie.\u00a0 Jaws<\/strong><\/em> is a classic though.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  7. \n

    Jurassic Park<\/strong><\/em> – Still the best of the Jurassic Park\/World<\/strong><\/em> movies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  8. \n

    The Fly<\/strong><\/em> (1958) – “Help me.\u00a0 Help me.”\u00a0 Chilling.\u00a0 Another film that I’ve grown to appreciate more over the years.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  9. \n

    Gremlins<\/strong><\/em> – Not a fan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  10. \n

    Godzilla<\/strong> <\/em>(1954) – Not a fan of the original Godzilla<\/strong><\/em> movies although I watched them enough as a kid with my grandpa.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
