Still from 'Mothra vs. Godzilla,' 1964.

A yearly celebration of all things Godzilla moves from its previous home at San Leandro’s Bal Theatre to San Francisco’s Balboa Theatre, devoting three days and both screens to the king of the monsters. Promising 11 classic Godzilla movies, vendors, artists, prizes and more, Godzilla Fest does not include the latest cinematic reimagining of the giant lizard, which you can see in Bay Area theaters on May 31. I have it on good advice that if you have to pick just one of the weekend’s offerings, let it be 1964’s Mothra vs. Godzilla. —Sarah Hotchkiss
