The best of everything is good enough for Filmspotting nation—meaning Godzilla is in the bag and the bag is in the river. Hope Sweet Smell goes far in the tourney.

Sweet Smell of Success is in the running for best film of the 50s for me, so it wins here.

Surprised at how long I paused on this one. Neither will win, but both deserve to move on to the next round. I was leaning towards "Godzilla", but then thought we'll still have the wonderful recent "Godzilla minus one", so I went with "Sweet Smell" for all of that wonderful dialogue.

Cinema's greatest monster versus Godzilla. My money's on the lizard.
I just rewatched Godzilla. It remains what it always was, a movie that appropriately takes itself seriously.
Sweet Smell of Success may be the only picture that could compete with All About Eve on the same grounds. They share similar qualities at superlative levels, dialogue, relationships, genuineness, ingenuineness, all of it so completely credible. It's an achievement that goes beyond the well crafted thematics so many don't attribute to Godzilla.

Who hasn't always wanted to see Godzilla take down Burt Lancaster?
