The Mother In-Law...Just thinking about it makes me need to go change my pants/ slip.

"Ray, if someone asks if you're a god, you say YES!"

Cthulu, of course!

Gamera all the way! The first mutant turtle.

It's all about Baltan!

I mean, apart from when they are beaten...

The Great Mighty Poo, anyone?

It has to be Godzilla. How many movies did they make about him? Stay Puff had 1 and he wasn't the lead character......and only lived for 10 minutes.

I understand Cthulhu is a supreme deity in mythos, but I don't beleive that you need to make a die roll to keep your sanity.

Godzilla calls Sta-Puft lunch!

Something from Star Wars

The GIANT Claw!

It got to be the subconcious monster from Forbidden planet

I feel compelled to go with the Cloverfield thingee. Not as classic as anything from Japan, but seriously, seriously cannot be beaten. I mean, the thing has thousands of little spawnlings that pour off of it with snapping poisonous jaws--one bite makes a persons guts melt down and explode...and that's just the babies.

Also worthy of note: The Cloverfield monster actually *didn't* get beaten. Sure, it was hit with direct aerial bombing and the full artillery power of the modern military...but it apparently didn't care, and ended up killing, well, everyone.

Reptar!

Alien Queen anyone? Gave me nightmares when I don't get nightmares. Scary as sh....

Cthulhu. I can't believe he wasn't included as a basic option. It almost feels like these polls are a joke.

Shut your mouth!

I have to go with the AD&D Tarrasque. Destroys pretty much everything it comes across, and even once you defeat it you have to use a Wish to kill it. Even then, I'm not sure.

If we're limiting this to movie monsters, then I'd have to go with the Alien queen already mentioned, just for the visual design.

Cloverfield would make a good MST3K movie, other than that it was crap.

Edit: I've seen worse movies, but I can't see what people liked in cloverfield.

Rodin, from the Japanese monster movies.

As in Auguste Rodin? I believe you mean Rodan?

It's not that the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man was scary or indestructible, it's that he was the innocence of youth turned apocalyptic destroyer. And it was a great movie that (almost) everyone likes.

Two words: Zombies. Duh.

Gossamer, the monster from the old Bugs Bunny cartoon.

I think I found the real Cthulhu.

Here's Cthulhu:




And this is Auguste Rodin (French sculptor - The Thinker)

Although, when Cartman (Southpark) is riding Cthulhu in season 14, it is pretty intimidating.

Which reminds me, what about Skuzzlebutt? I mean he does have TV's Patrick Duffy for a leg.

The Amazing Colossal Man - especially in the sequel when he became the "Colossal Beast"!

Amen.

What about the one in the "Alien" movies? Especially in "Aliens" - "Get away from her you B*TCH!"

How did King Kong get on this list? He's not a "monster" he's the Eighth Wonder of the World!

Cthulhu

Cthulhu.
Hands down... anything described as "a mountain walked or stumbled" kinda puts things in scale... The StayPuft man (100 ft tall)? Squish between toes.. likewise with the blob. Queen Alien? Seriously? Versus a fecking MOUNTAIN??? Hell, Ripley held it off with a power loader for piss sake and she's only 6 foot tall! King Kong is about 20 feet tall (read the book, people) and Godzilla is 80 meters (or about 263 feet) tall...
Now lets look at mountains... by definition a mountain must have a minimum height over base of at least 2,500 m (8,202 ft)...

edit to add height of StayPuft

The Centerfold from "Attack of the 60 Foot Centerfold"....eh?

I have to agree with the dread Cthulhu. Lovecraft had it all defined and long before the others.

Optimus Prime.

JAWS!!!!!!!!!!!! Come on, it doesnt get much better..and the music was freakin sweet

I think Oprah should've been an option.

Hey! what about Roseanne Barr?

Tell me she doesn't put the fear of God in ya.
