Alien vs. Predator

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever

Monsters vs, Aliens

Atom Man vs. Superman

Billy the Kid vs. Dracula

Navy vs. the Night Monsters

Wife vs. Secretary (1936) seems to be one of the earliest

I like the SNL skit of Kramer vs. Godzilla

Any more? Any you find interesting or notable?

Oh, yeah – we just saw The Mitchells vs. the Machines

2

I quite liked vs.

3

Batman V Superman.

Although “vs.” isn’t part of the movie title, I think “The One” deserves an honorable mention because the whole movie was about Jet Li’s character facing off against many other versions of himself in parallel universes. It came down to the good Jet Li, “Gabe”, vs. the ultimate villainous alter ego of himself, “Lawless”.

5

1958 – Earth vs The Spider
The title was shortened to, “The Spider,” for some reason.
2001 – Earth vs The Spider
TVM featuring Dan Aykroyd and John Cho. Rip-off of Spider Man.

6

Freddy vs Jason

Tucker and Dale vs Evil – Funny take on teen slasher films, well done of its type. Alan Tudyk stars.

7

Well, technically doesn’t count because it’s a series, but my favorite vs. is Ash vs. Evil Dead

8

The People vs Larry Flynt – with Woody Harrelson

10

Eagle vs. Shark

Dick Tracy vs. Cueball

11

Where did this comes from?

It may not have “vs” in the title, but here’s the REAL Bambi meets Godzilla, by Marv Newland. accept no substitutes

His “Anijam” was great, too.

12

and there’s the original Shark vs. Octopus. Stills from this appeared in the Wonders of Science book I had as a kid, and it was spliced into Ray Harryhausen’s first solo film, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms. One commenter noted that it showed up in the first Flash Gordon serial, too

13

Joe vs The Volcano

14

Marv’s version didn’t “meet” the terms of the OP, so I selected an homage with “vs” in the title. Marv is thanked in the credits.

15

…and, of course, now there’s Godzilla vs. Kong

16

Unfortunately, it’s Cowboys and Aliens. But they’re fighting, so it should really be Cowboys vs. Aliens

17

…and one of the great unmade movies King Kong vs. Frankenstein (AKA King Kong vs. Prometheus)

King Kong vs. Prometheus | Wikizilla, the kaiju encyclopedia.

18

Godzilla vs Mechagodzilla (was on over the weekend)
Sharktopus vs Pteracuda
Sharktopus vs Whalewolf

19

The Mitchells vs. the Machines

I thought the title was a play on the title of the childhood game, “Cowboys and Indians.”

20

It’s not a movie, only a book, but the title is great

Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula by Loren D. Estleman

He later wrote Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Holmes.
