As terrible as many of the films involving Godzilla have been, some would even include the most recent American version on that list, it is no denying how iconic the giant monster is in pop culture; the Great Movies Made Better by Adding Godzilla series imagines what it would have been like if he was apart of other franchises.
Put together by Cracked.com, the Movies Made Better by Adding Godzilla series invited readers to create their own renditions and then chose the 40 best posters. $100 was awarded to their top choice.

Whether modern or classic, the addition of Godzilla in the films created a hilarious component few will be unable to appreciate.
