ALL SCI-FI

[Bud Brewster]

_____________________________________________

I compiled the list below from different sites which listed the Japanese Kaiju movies and the Japanese science fiction movies.

I tried to avoid duplicating titles on the two lists, but I'm sure I missed a few. However, the lists demonstrate just how prolific the Japanese movie studios were over several decades!

Anyway, I hope the members of All Sci-Fi will find few favorites among the titles below that they'll want to comment on.

Man-o-man, what a collection all those movies would be!!

There are actually a few on that list I have never heard of, and you better believe I am now on the lookout for them.

Thanks for the list Bud.
