Top 10 Best Dragon Ball Z Movies

Great movie for comedy and action. The main villains are very interesting and unique compared to other DBZ movie villains. The fighting style of Bill's is a treat to watch very much a throw back to classic martial arts and you see his melee based arts shift as he fights tougher opponents. This movie did a great job of balancing the old while introducing new elements.

The movie really sets the stage for the future of the Dragon Ball Z series from hence forth this movie has revived it.

Best Dragon Ball Z movie, no doubt. It had a great story that was retold even in the Super series (which wasn't really perfect), the animation was spot on, as well as the new characters, the battle was not too long or too short, voice acting 10/10, in short everything was as good as possible.

Amazing animation, great comedy, and I thought the god form of Goku was amazing. I also like how they mentioned a lot of things that could happen in the next movie (Vegeta turning super sayian god and the whole other universes thing). I think it was the best DBZ movie!

I loved the animation and fighting scenes. I believe the movie incorporated all the main Z fighters and overall had everybody in it which I found awesome. Had really funny moments and the the villain was really good. Have to watch it!

If Broly's name wasn't in the title, the writers could have done a very interesting plot twist with this movie. The first half of this movie builds up with the destruction of a galaxy and the Z Fighters searching for the Legendary Super Saiyan and saving a race of slaves. The second half is just one awesome badass fight scene between the Z Fighters and Broly. And I love Roshi's drunk scene. Even though I think Broly is a very overrated super villain I also think that his small motivation for hating Goku serves to show how insane he really is. I just wish Goku got a few more hits in the end.

Broly was an awesome villain should have been put in the show after the Frieza saga would have been perfect. Broly was pure evil and he tossed around Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, and Piccolo like they were nothing. He tossed around 4 super saiyans and Namek it took them all giving their powers to Goku to finish him. It was the most suspend filled and most dire of all the movies.

Broly was what made the movie awesome. While the ending might not have been the best, in a way, if you look at and try to see if it was remotely good, you can tolerate the ending, and maybe like it. Personally, I kind of liked the climactic part to it, and it almost fit. It was a really good movie over all.

It was amazing and that battle was awesome except for when goku defeated him with one punch from the basically dead z fighters. The ending in broly the second coming was better when they did the family kamehaeha with goten and gohan, but all in all the first broly movie was the best.

Janemba is so cool! I couldn't choose between this one or Battle of the Gods. So I voted for both. Gogeta is easily one of my favorite characters in Dragon Ball. I can't wait to play as him and Janemba in Xenoverse 2! Also, this movie gave me a good idea of what hell would look like. Now if only Janemba had actually said words...

The comedy and action in this movie are top notch, the villain was decent, the fusion amazing, and the going back and forth between the living world and the other world kept me very entertained. Has always been my favorite dbz movie, not even Battle of Gods could surpass it.

By far the best DBZ movie! I loved the separation of battles! Earth had its own minor skirmish, and then in the other dimension Goku, Vegeta, and Pikon vs the incarnation of all evil! What's not to love!

This is definitely one of the best movies. Story is super creative and villains powers are awesome. Gogeta kicks ass

What I love about Bardock is that up to this point, the Saiyans have been built up as villains - heartless, bloodthirsty killing machines. Bardock, however, realized Frieza's evil and stood up to him to try to avenge his friends and save his planet. He may have failed but he went out like a hero.

This was a great movie. It tells you the story of Bardock, the father of Raditz and Goku and how he was destroyed along with most of the Saiyan race. Bardock is so cool!

Best dbz movie. The one with the more complex plot and very mysterious ambient that surrounds us and raises anxiety.

While this is a special, this is without a doubt the best work TOEI ever made. Bardock is my favorite character from the franchise because of how badass he is.

It's the best movie in all dbz movies because it has a great drama and a tragedy of trunks and believe me it's the best dbz movie ever it's IMDb rating is (7.9) which is a very good rating.

This is the only film out of them all that can qualify as a great standalone film. Despite it tying in excellently with the show, someone with no prior knowledge will not be lost, given the nature of this film's "timeline". The emotion, atmosphere, voice acting and action in this film are all top notch. This film is how I was introduced to the DBZ series and is in my opinion the best one.

Easily up there as one of the best DBZ movies of all time, everything about it is fantastic, the plot, the build-up and the dark theme of the film. It ranks up with likes of Bojack Unbound, BTLSS and BTFOG, also, it ties in with the events of the anime, I'd definitely recommend giving it a watch, especially DBZ fans.

Why is this so far down. It is the second best movie the first being Bardock. Both are tragic and have different plots then z fighters get beat up the z fighters get back up and beat the bad guy easily.

I'm somewhat surprised this one is somewhat down on the list. While Battle of Gods was pretty decent, I feel the ratings were somewhat inflated for there being a lack of a new DBZ movie in awhile. Never the less, BOG was a satisfying appetizer. Anyway, Bojack unbound shows many reddeming qualities that I find appealing. The villain is pretty evil for a DBZ villain to start with. This movie is the only DBZ movie with a tournament as its setting. It shows everyone fighting for a decent period of time and has small B.S. moments. And last of all it shows Gohan for the beast he is. Its hard not to like Gohan,considering in concept he could have been the main character in DBZ. SS2 Gohan is one of every fans favorite characters due to the hidden silent rage and utter power he brings with himself. Great movie through and through

This movie is awesome. The tournament brings back DragonBall memories, and has the classic characters dueling it out. Gohan proves again how much of a badass he is!

This one should be in the top 3 Gohan was badass in this movie and it was really fun to watch the tourney!

This should either be first or second, Gohan is a real badass in this movie pretty much the best ss2 than anyone else.

I loved this movie. One of the best movies from the Dragon Ball franchise.
I loved how Frieza came back.
It would be cool if Frieza was about to kill Goku with an energy blast, but Gohan steps in and saves him and Goku gets so angry and he goes into rage mode and completely destroys Frieza. That would be awesome.

I really like this movie AND I own it. It would honestly be one of my favorites if Goku hadn't of "Saved the Earth" again. I'm sick and tired of seeing Goku kick Vegeta to the dust just because Akira Toryiama won't let Vegeta get the spotlight. But honestly, This is a pretty awesome.

The definitive Dragon Ball Z experience. It's packed with action, humour and tons of epic moments. It was a fantastic theatre experience. It's some of the best this long-running franchise has to offer.

So much awesomeness packed into one movie. The best action, the best humour, the best villain, the best transformations, and the best soundtrack. The BEST Dragon Ball movie

Since I don't count the Bardock or Trunks specials as movies (they're treated as T.V. specials, not feature films), I'd have to consider this one the best. Not only did it have beautiful animation, but it had some surprisingly effective character development from Trunks, and Tapion was a pretty solid character. Admittedly, the ending was a bit of a Deus ex Machina, but it looked pretty damn awesome regardless.

Hands down the best film in the DBZ series! It has a great plot and the best character development of all the films. This one may not have the energetic and zealous fight scenes, but it makes up in the story department. I have no clue why it is so low, dumbfounded...

This is in my opinion the second best DBZ movie ever, how it is so low on the list I have no idea. You get to see Trunks get his sword, and Goku's first time using Dragon Fist technique. Goku is always badass but he was exceptionally so in this movie! 10/10 Loved it!

This movie shouldn't be so low. It gave us some of the best character development in Dragon Ball Z, especially the relationship between Trunks and Taipon. It had a good story, buildup, and fight scene at the end.

How is this #10? It has one of the best and dramatic stories and one of the best and most compelling, complete, and vengeful villains in the DBZ movies. Cooler is like a better version of Frieza. All the power and intimidation with none of his whiny, arrogant traits. He deserved his own saga. The fight scenes were intense and personal. The buildup to the confrontation between Goku and Cooler was amazing (plus I like the rock soundtrack). It may have done the common DBZ movie formula (villain beats Goku, Goku powers up and beats villain) but I feel as though this movie executed it the best.

In terms of animation quality, drama and story telling, this is by far the best Dragonball Z movie ever created. It not only does the series and the characters justice by expanding on the existing universe (even though it's non-canon) and gives us a very interesting revenge story, it also includes one of the best and most intimidating villains to come out of the show, and lays the groundwork for one hell of a final act.

Extremely cool movie. I thought it would be further up there on this list. Cooler's final form transformation was total beast. He looks like a ninja with super speed and super strength. He actually stands up to a SSJ with his ultimate technique: SUPERNOVA which can destroy planets.

Don't understand why this one is so low. It's my third favorite and definitely better than the whole broly trilogy. I mean I never understood why some guy yelling kakarot the whole movie was so popular. Does beat Bardock or trunks but it is way better than broly.

Starts off cute, becomes funny, then pretty serious and straight forward. Just what everyone needs in a DBZ movie. And I loved Videl's design in this one.

Good movie enjoyed it

Sure everybody thought Android 13, 14, and 15 were bland villains (like how many Androids did Dr. Gero actually make? ) and the final battle isn't the best fight in DBZ history, but it's a very enjoyable film and I highly recommend to those fans of the Androids/Cell Saga.

Placement in timeline aside, this was definitely a fun little adventure. With epic moments like Goku absorbing the spirit bomb, SSJ not being enough to stop Super Android 13 and a final glance at Dr. Gero's work. This is definitely a great movie

This is a great movie. I almost crapped my pants when Goku absorbs the spirit bomb and goes berserk.

This movie is awesome

I am not saying this movie deserves to be top 5. To be honest, I like the later movies way better than this. But at least, this movie has the False Super Saiyan Transformation. If you don't know what I am talking about, watch this movie and learn about the unique transformation.

The False Super Saiyan transformation is by far my favorite. But it kinda came out of nowhere. This movie deserves a better spot on this list.

Sure the story isn't that strong and Lord Slug is basically a recycled version of Piccolo Sr. but I can safely say that the fight scenes and rock music were awesome.

This film made Disturbed one of my favorite modern rock bands of all time.

Turles is one of the best villains/characters in DBZ. He's represents what Goku would have become if he hadn't lost his memory and became part of Earth's population. He's also very strong. He's a badass!

Turles is my favorite character. I love his voice in the Big Green dub! He was such a good villain and he will hopefully be great in the upcoming game, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2! He appears in the trailer so hopefully he'll be in it, Xenoverse 1 had his armor and a few bits of dialogue about him.

This film has some of the best animated fights from the series plus Turles was a badass. The Broly films suck and shouldn't even be in the top ten.

This movie had some awesome fight scenes and showcased the original Evil Goku before Black Goku came along.

Oh, how I love this movie. It's just nothing but fun which is what I love about it. Man, I still have it at home

Piccolo is a total badass in this movie. Hell, they even made Master Roshi/Kame-Sen'nin a badass again like in the original series.

DR. Willow is a rather interresting villain. Same as his minions and the Bio-Men

Well, I'm not going to spoil anything. Watch the movie if you're a DBZ fan, because you're gonna love it.

This Is one of the best examples of Dragon Ball Z. It deserves to be much higher.

One of the best. Great fight scenes, should be in top 10.

Amazing movie, and Piccolo is so badass here.

This isn't really a movie, But it still deserves a vote.

It is the best

One of the greatest dragonball movies ever because you get to see how broly somehow gets revived and has a major showdown with goten, trunks, android 18, and krillin a little and its one of my favorites
