It better be, because I'm watching it for my first time this October, and many people seem to count it.

Yep. They start to get hokey after that but the original should definitely count.

Quote from Wikipedia: "With the exceptions of Godzilla, Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Destroy all Monsters, and Terror of Mechagodzilla, much of the Shōwa series monster-action was intentionally made comical and laughable for children."

I take this to mean that any of the movies listed (Godzilla, Godzilla Raids Again, Mothra vs. Godzilla, Destroy All Monsters, and Terror of Mechagodzilla) would potentially count. I'd probably count all of them, personally, but then again, I only plan on watching the first one.

In October, sure. In reality, any Godzilla movie I see immediately makes my list. Come at me, brah. :)

I'd definitely include 1984/Return of Godzilla due to the return to the serious tone.
