back when it was sc-fi and not sy-fy and they did not show that many made for tv movies. it seemed like almost every weekind was a godzilla marathon (or alot of toho movie monsters). anybody remeber thoes days ¿
shareYes, I remember them. They stopped showing kaiju movies in 2007, and I think their rights to air them must have lapsed at that point. That was about the time that Sci-Fi started changing their focus, so perhaps they didn't renew the rights for that reason? At any rate, it's too bad they don't show them anymore.
Movies they used to show:
Mothra (1961)
King Kong vs. Godzilla (1962)
King Kong Escapes (1967)
Destroy All Monsters (1968)
Godzilla vs. Hedorah (1971)
Godzilla vs. Gigan (1972)
Godzilla vs. Megalon (1973; From 2002 to 2007, their version was uncut and widescreen)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1974)
GUNHED (1989; No kaiju, but it's an apocalyptic sci-fi film produced by Toho)
Godzilla vs. King Ghidorah (1991)
Godzilla vs. Mothra (1992)
Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla (1993)
Godzilla vs. SpaceGodzilla (1994)
Godzilla vs. Destoroyah (1995)
Rebirth of Mothra (1996)
Rebirth of Mothra II (1997)
Rebirth of Mothra III (1998)
Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000)
Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack (2001)
There were more movies, too (including several Gamera films and various Japanese sci-fi film), but they mostly showed the Godzillas.
No
shareSad that I grew up on Sci-Fi and do not remember these marathons at all. I remember the Tremors and Leprechaun marathons though. But I did watch Godzilla 2000 on the Sci-Fi channel once.
