I like this one.

Here Godzilla is challenged by a space version of him. He also has these guys on an island trying to study him, and one of them wants him dead, cause he believes Godzilla is responsible for his friend's death. The government has also made this robot to fight Godzilla. All in all Godzilla has a pretty rough time of it facing the two. Though the team controlling the robot eventually joins forces with Godzilla to attack the space monster. I like this one, there are a lot of fights and Space Godzilla looks pretty cool, when he isn't flying around in space. Though I am thinking seeing Godzilla vs. MechaGodzilla would help a person understand it a bit more. As I am thinking the guy whose friend died was shown in that one.
