It’s come to my attention that it’s somewhat of a travesty that I haven’t seen the original Godzilla. I admit, it does seem like something I should see. However, Netflix shamefully doesn’t have it. They have many other Godzilla movies, but not the original.

So, join me, friends, in petitioning Netflix to get it. All you have to do is go to their Request a Title page (which seems to be hidden in their FAQ) and send them an email saying that they should carry it.

It’s directed by Ishiro Honda, and is called Gojira (or Godzilla). Here’s the IMDB entry for the film.

UPDATE: Don’t bother emailing Netflix, as I’ve learned that the uncut Japanese edition is not available on DVD here in the States, and that the US version (marred by Raymond Burr) is not worth watching compared to the original.
