Ghidorah is definitely a classic film. I'm hoping Godzilla 2, which is set to feature Rodan, Mothra, and Ghidorah, is an American take on this film. My favorite Godzilla moment of all time is when Godzilla comes charging in to protect Mothra. It's the first truly heroic thing he does, and it's awesome. I'm hoping, if they do make a Ghidorah film, this scene is present.

I'm not a huge fan of G2000 mainly because it's the only Millenium movie we never got a Japanese track for; the English track isn't bad but neither is it good, and Tristar replaced a lot of Takayuki Hattori's score with music from Anaconda. Orga is a cool monster, though. I liked two of the three new monsters introduced in the Millenium series (the other being Megaguirus, who just has the misfortune of being in a terrible film with awful special effects).

My personal favorites are:

GMK (this is how daikaiju films should be made)

Godzilla vs. Gigan (the first Japanese Godzilla movie I saw) Either Kiryu film

Destroy All Monsters (Final Wars tries and fails to be this movie; DAM is about humanity and the monsters joining forces to defend Earth, not Godzilla killing every other kaiju in the series via increasingly stupid, absurdly short fights; seriously the fight between Godzilla and Zilla and the one between he and Gigan aren't that much different in length).

Ghidorah

Destroyer is kind of hit and miss for me. It was the second Heisei series film I saw, and I knew going into it Godzilla was going to die. However, considering this was a Godzilla I didn't especially like in the first place, it wasn't an especially great loss. One thing I will say is all the Heisei films (except Godzilla vs Biollante which is an unmitigated trainwreck) had awesome scores (and even Biollante has two good cues: "Bio Wars" which plays during the opening gun fight, and "Scramble March" which is the JGSDF's theme). The opening and ending themes for Destoryer are two of my favorites for the entire series.
