War of the Gargantuas

A strange and beloved Toho film in which two giant hairy humanoids, brothers grown from the same tissue, one gentle and green, one savage and brown, do battle across Japan while humans try to tell them apart. The brown Gargantua eating a woman and spitting out her clothes is an image nobody forgets.

It is odder and more emotional than the standard monster mash, and its cult reach is wide, Brad Pitt has cited it as a favourite. Kenji Sahara and an out-of-place Russ Tamblyn co-star. A genuine oddity in the Toho canon, and hugely fun.
