The new blockbuster movie âGodzilla vs. Kongâ got me thinking back to those frightening kaiju monster movies of the past. I traumatized my younger brother by dragging him to see âRodan, The Flying Monster.â He screamed and ran to the safety of the theater lobby, while I sat there on the edge of my sagging seat watching Rodan to his very last flicker on the big silver screen. Yes, I was hooked on those Japanese horror films that usually resulted in Tokyo getting stomped to a pancake by some radioactive monster run amok. Here are my Top 10 favs: 10) âRodanâ (1965) â After being freed by a mining disaster, a pterodactyl-like creature takes to the sky to terrorize Japan. The second kaiju created by Toho after the studioâs success with âGodzilla,â Rodan quickly became a fan-favorite.
