was having some 'godzilla' fever, so i checked out some old-school monster trailers on the PS4 for a possible rental....after watching a few of 'em, i thought "wow, these seemed alot better when i was a kid" & realized how awful they really are

i'm going with 'the beast from 20,000 fathoms' and 'gorgo'. i kinda dug both movies when i was an impressionable dorky first-grader, but almost wish i didn't re-watch those trailers today, lol...wow, just wow. but i'd still like to see those movies get the big-budget treatment in the 21st century. any others?

Voltron needs a movie before anything else happens

If by "crappy" you mean "dated" then

1a. Destroy All Monsters
1b. Mothra vs. Godzilla
2. King Kong vs. Godzilla
3. Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla
4. Godzilla vs. Gigan
5. Godzilla Raids Again
6. Godzilla vs. Space Godzilla
7. Godzilla vs Hedorah

Basically all the Godzillas, except fricking All Monsters Attack

The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms is still enjoyable to me.

One of my favorite monster movies that I'd like to see remade today is the 1957 Roger Corman classic "Attack of the Crab Monsters"



Who wouldn't want to see a movie about giant telepathic crabs? No cgi though, I'd want to see some practical effects like Corman used

Gorgo had a nice twist for an ending.

Attack of the Crabs would be good too. Especially if they would have the crabs get into their infamous spitting and fighting mad attitudes.

One of my campy favorites; the tree monster in From Hell it Came
