there is a fan edit floating around out there called Godzilla Resurrection that combines a lot of 1985 with Return of Godzilla. It does cut out a lot of the goofier comedic and product placement stuff of 85 which was a smart move to try to make the "best" version of both movies. I'm not sure that it really replaces either film but it is a super interesting project and worth watching. It's mainly the subtitled original besides when it's the American stuff from 85. In any case the movie is one that I didn't really appreciate enough as a kid because I was disappointed it's just Godzilla and he wasn't fighting another monster but as I've gotten older I actually think a lot of it is more impressive than most of it's sequels.There are Raymond Burr supercuts on YouTube, and that's all that is worth watching from Godzilla 1985.
I'm going to cheat my favorite Showa Godzilla film, other than the original, being Return of Godzilla.
Movie chronology, it's the first Heisei Godzilla film, but it is the last Showa Godzilla film since the period ended in 1989, but just before Godzilla vs. Biollante released.
