Unironically the first Godzilla film, specifically the uncut original without Raymond Burr. It's really fucking sad and intense for a fifties monster movie with some beautiful shots that are like still life paintings at times. It's not as schlocky as you think; it's pretty dramatic. Made me cry at one point.

Also, here's a list that might help you for other Japanese kino.

This. Godzilla is the easiest entry point for classic Japanese live-action movies. The movie industry in Japan tanked after the financial collapse, so now most of what they make are relatively low-budget anime adaptations. Godzilla is making a comeback, but he’s a cultural icon in Japan who will always be relevant, just like Batman in the USA.

I just watched Rodan again last night, and am I the only one who thinks it’s weird? The movie does a huge misdirection with the murder mystery, then completely changes course and pace out of nowhere.

I'm a fan of the original Rodan. It comes across as more of a horror movie than a kaiju movie until near the end.

Gamera: Attack of the Legion has a similar first half to Rodan, with mysterious thefts and then murders being tracked to a monster infestation.

Thats transphobic as fuck

The movie that weebs keep salivating to discuss.

>A high-school girl is kidnapped by gang lords and held captive for several months. Over this time, she repeatedly beaten, raped, and tortured. On the 25th of November 1988, four youths abducted and held Furuta Junko in the house of one of the captors. Subjected to rape, torture, and humiliation, Junko had no hope of escape as the manhunt was stalled by the captors forcing her to tell her parents that she was ok. For 41 harrowing days, Junko had to endure unimaginable suffering at the hands of these four individuals. Finally, after losing in a game of mahjong solitaire, they beat her with an iron dumbbell and set on fire with lighter fluid. She died later that day from shock. In an attempt to hide their crime they buried her in cement and thus the name 'Concrete Encased High School Murder Case' was born as Japan had to confront the horrors of this crime. The perpetrators disposed the drum in a tract of reclaimed land in Koto, Tokyo.
