Alright, monster fans. There have been many monster movie in the theaters (and on cable, satellite home video) over the past 25 years.

Collider has posted what they consider to be the "10 Greatest Monster Movies of the Last 25 Years, Ranked".

Some will hear the term "monster movie" and immediately think of a black and white King Kong, where the ape scales the side of the Empire State Building, or Godzilla, where the kaiju rises from the ocean. Although those iconic creatures are some of the most well-known examples, countless movies in the modern age use monsters as the star attraction. Industry-leading filmmakers are using original monster creations to explore topics such as governmental oppression and the brutality of war.

From horror to sci-fi to family movies, monsters are running all over modern films, snatching box office victories and proving there’s still life left in the genre. The following films are the greatest monster movies of the last 25 years, ranked by their use of monsters big and small and their lasting appeal to moviegoers. It’s important to note that the concept of monsters is open for interpretation, so even though the list could include vampires, werewolves, or personal injury lawyers, this list will stick to creatures that defy easy categorization.

For those of you who are Godzilla fans, Godzilla Minus One made the list.
