If you loved The Return of Godzilla, try Godzilla 1985
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Koji Hashimoto, and they both carry the dread, foreign gem, late night, neon soaked mood tags, and they sit in Action / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Return of Godzilla, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Godzilla 1985 is
Tokyo Bay. Dawn. A fishing trawler, adrift. The lone survivor pulled from the wreckage speaks of a monster. Government officials scramble, but one scientist knows the truth. Godzilla returns, angrier than before. The special effects here are practical, and it shows.
