Films
A film also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, picture, photoplay or (slang) flick is a work of visual art that simulates experiences and otherwise communicates ideas, stories, perceptions, feelings, beauty, or atmosphere through the use of moving images. These images are generally accompanied by sound and, more rarely, other sensory stimulations.

Godzilla Vs
is a fictional monster, or '' kaiju'', originating from a series of Japanese films. The character first appeared in the 1954 film ''Godzilla'' and became a worldwide pop culture icon, appearing in various media, including 32 films produced by Toho, four American films and numerous video games, novels, comic books and television shows. Godzilla has been dubbed the "King of the Monsters", a phrase first used in ''Godzilla, King of the Monsters!'' (1956)'','' the Americanized version of the original film. Godzilla is an enormous, destructive, prehistoric sea monster awakened and empowered by nuclear radiation. With the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the '' Lucky Dragon 5'' incident still fresh in the Japanese consciousness, Godzilla was conceived as a metaphor for nuclear weapons. Others have suggested that Godzilla is a metaphor for the United States, a giant beast woken from its slumber which then takes terrible vengeance on Japan. As the film series expan ...

Pink Film
in its broadest sense includes almost any Japanese theatrical film that includes nudity (hence 'pink') or deals with sexual content. This encompasses everything from dramas to action thrillers and exploitation film features. The Western equivalent of pink films would essentially be erotic thrillers, e.g. ''Fatal Attraction'', ''Fifty Shades of Grey'', ''Basic Instinct'', ''9½ Weeks '', as well as the works of directors Russ Meyer and Andy Sidaris. Some writers use the term 'pink film' for Japanese sex movies produced and distributed by smaller independent studios such as OP Eiga, Shintōhō Eiga, Kokuei and Xces. In this narrower sense, Nikkatsu's ''Roman Porno'' series, Toei Company's ''Pinky Violence'' series and the Tokatsu films distributed by Shochiku would not be included as these studios have much larger distribution networks. Until the early 2000s, they were almost exclusively shot on 35 mm movie film, 35mm film. Recently, filmmakers have increasingly used video (wh ...

Girl Boss Guerilla
is a 1972 Japanese film in the ''sukeban'' (delinquent girl) subgenre of Toei's "Pinky violence" style of '' Pink film''. The third in the seven-film ''Girl Boss'' series, it was directed by Norifumi Suzuki and starred Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike. Cast * Miki Sugimoto * Reiko Ike * Emi Jō () Critical response Allmovie critic Donald Guarisco calls ''Girl Boss Guerilla'' a "prototypical example of Japan's homegrown 'pinky violence' genre," adding "Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike make for charismatic and believable 'tough gal' leads, Suzuki directs the film with vigor, and the finished film benefits from the high production values and slickness inherent to Japanese exploitation films of this era." He warns that the film "isn't for all tastes, mainly because the eroticized S & M torture scenes might make some viewers squirm. Also, the film features sudden bursts of slapstick comedy that will leave others scratching their heads in confusion." Guarisco concludes that the film "is a schlo ...
