If you loved Varan, try Godzilla

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 Godzilla is

Tokyo Bay, summer, a ship's distress call. A research team uncovers a monstrous creature on a remote island, its towering form an omen of destruction. Honda's genre-defining film lands as a cautionary tale of nuclear terror.
