What are some cool kaiju movies that really sell the scale/size of these giant monsters?

Classic Godzilla movies seem to take place in desert wastelands and stuff so I dont imagine theyd be what Im looking for. Im looking for giant monsters wrecking shit in cities and on bridges and stuff

Try Hellboy 2

same director, same stuff, promise

Also *2016's Colossal starting Anne Hathaway, might be up your alley in the same vein . Enjoy!

Godzilla (2014) has immaculate sense of scale and some truly awesome moments.

Cool Ill look into those. Are there any movies that are considered essential reading that are really formative for the genre? That get a lot of callbacks and stuff?

I can't name which movies, but at least with Godzilla you'll want to be familiar with mothra, Ghidorah, and Mecha Godzilla as those are the most "lore relevant" Godzilla monsters.
