Giant Monster Movie List

This ongoing, ever-growing list of giant monster films is divided into several parts. The main division is between the Western or Hollywood tradition and the Japanese tradition (daikaiju eiga), which, though it developed from the Western tradition, became so distinctive that there is value in keeping it separate. On occasion, the definition of what constitutes a “giant monster” may be seen to have become fairly loose. For reference purposes I have included films that feature prehistoric animals — the larger ones, at any rate. I have also included a number of “mechanised” monster flicks, as there are at least a few giant alien robot and “mecha” films that use the tropes of daikaiju eiga and have all the combative, city-crunching enthusiasm of their flesh-and-blood counterparts. Some of the films included are definitely stretching the definition, but I have my own devious interest in having them there.

Relatively Giant Monster Films

These films feature creatures (mainly insects but also sharks, crocodiles and the like — and even the odd humanoid) that are giant-size relative to their species’ normal dimensions, but which are not actually gargantuan in the truest sense. In particular, it includes giant insects where the bugs are much larger than reality though smaller than, say, Mothra.

I would like to thank various people for emailing amendments and additions, especially Avery Guerra [Kaiju Search-Robot Avery] whom I’ve never met but who has been generous in sending me information on films that had slipped by me — and keeping me up-to-date on new ones. Also the assorted folk of kaijuphile.com, who come up with lots of esoteric facts and figures.
