Best Zombie Movie Of All Time

[LostInAnomie]

Poll question: Best Zombie Movie Of All Time

[puerco-bellies]

1. Shawn of the Dead

Best zombie movie, EVER!!!

[Canuckistanian]

3. Hands down

Just enough gore, lots of laughs... and beer.

[unsavedtrash]

17. the best! n/t

[realisticphish]

22. indeed

the mix of humor and horror is pretty rare, and they do it perfectly.

I mean, when they're beating the hell out of that zombie, synchronized to "Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen... :rofl:

[Rob H.]

38. I loved it

The DVD actually has subtitles (the "Zomb-o-meter," I think) that list trivia about the movie, like how the aspect ratio is the same as the original Dawn of the Dead, that when Shaun says, "...and Ash is a bit under the weather, as well" it's a hat tip to the Evil Dead movies, that Fulci's Restaurant is named after Zombie director Lucio Fulci, and the list goes on.

I can't wait to see "http://hotfuzz.com/us/index_us.html?gclid=CMDkqcrlq4sCFRssVAod3FjrVg">Hot Fuzz"--it's out next week!

[PVnRT]

44. Yes

I wonder, though, in other movies, where the hell did the military go? Wouldn't they show up at some point and start blasting shit?

[ghostsofgiants]

2. 28 Days Later isn't a zombie movie.

But it's my favourite movie on the list.

[LostInAnomie]

4. Close enough

Essentially the same themes as all the rest. The only real difference is that the people infected with the RAGE aren't technically dead.

[ghostsofgiants]

6. True. I'm impressed that someone else knows why it isn't a zombie movie, haha.

People usually try to tell me I'm a moron when I say that, haha.

[unpossibles]

40. I loved that movie, but I annoy my friends when I say, "well, technically

...it's more of a rabies movie because they aren't dead and can die of starvation."

god, I am such a nerd.

[RaleighNCDUer]

43. Just saw that there is a sequel coming out

28 weeks later.

July, I think.

[unpossibles]

45. yeah. I was skeptical at first for several reasons

different director, no real need for a sequel, etc., but the trailer looks decent.

[ghostsofgiants]

46. Danny Boyle isn't directing though, which saddens me.

I still intend to check it out though.

[stuntcat]

37. yah

I realize I'm breaking some rule counting it as a zombie film but I still do, it goes in my zombie dvd's section!

[LeftyMom]

5. Jesus Camp

:evilgrin:

[darkstar]

9. Hilarious!

:applause: :rofl: :applause: :spray: :applause:

[sasquatch]

11. .

:yourock: :thumbsup: :applause:

[Oeditpus Rex]

7. 'I Was a Zombie for the FBI'

Camp classic. :thumbsup:

[Zomby Woof]

10. I was a Zomby for the Dodgers

They came back from the undead tonight, or something like that. :-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

13. Barely

I felt that familiar "Oh, shitfuck" when Fielder doubled after Hardy's homer.

Just noticed they gave Schmidt the win; scorer's discretion. He pitched well, though he threw 95 pitches in five innings.

And the Tomato's pickin' up where he left off as a pinch hitter. :woohoo:

[darkstar]

8. I like 'em all.

But then there's this:

Tell me that ain't gonna keep you up for nights on end.....

[DerekG]

12. Are there any adults who wanna vote here?

What's this? An admittedly effective comedy and a dumbed-down remake garners more votes than two of the greatest genre masterpieces in modern film?

C'mon folks...show Romero some love.

[vi5]

30. Agreed.....

and as I said below, I liked the DOTD remake. But it's nowhere near Romero's level of genius.

[Dukkha]

36. hell yes!

Dawn of the Dead the greatest of all!

the voter apathy here is appauling.

[gizmonic]

56. FlyBoy ... (spoiler)

...creeped the hell out of me 1st time I saw it. When he showed the zombies about the hidden passage...

eeek!:scared: :scared: :)

[Dukkha]

60. I've met everyone in the movie too!

George A Romero
Tom Savini
Ken Foree (Peter)
Scott H. Reiniger (Roger)
David Emge (Stephen "Fly Boy")
Gaylen Ross (Fran)

I now have a nice framed movie poster with all their autographs!

also met 4 of the lead zombies:
Sharon Ceccatti (Nurse)
Clayton Hill (Zombie wearing white sweater)
Jim Krut (Helicopter Zombie)
Lenny Lies (Machete Face Zombie)

[gizmonic]

65. Did you attend Cinema Wasteland in Ohio?

I met David Emge @ CW a couple of years ago and got his autograph.

This year we had Nurse and Sweater Zombie @ CW. I missed them x( but met Camille Keaton (I Spit on Your Grave) instead! :7

[Dukkha]

68. YES I was there!

I met everyone there minus Romero in 2005. I was the drunk in the bar with a lightsaber and a "Dorks Are Hot" T-Shirt :) I met George Romero at Dragon Con last year.

Me as the Emperor with Romero

[anti-everything]

14. How could you leave out Fulci?

It should be illegal to discuss zombie movies, or gore in general, without mentioning Lucio Fulci. I would have to say "Zombie" is the best zombie movie.

[Cobalt-60]

15. Zombie (1980)

It's the only film I've seen where even skeletal Conquistadors are rising to the occasion.

[anti-everything]

16. Yes, Fulci was the man.

[AshevilleGuy]

18. Now, the dead in Night Of, are actually ghouls.

Let's get our stumbling mindless dead nomenclature straight here... :)

But it's probably my favorite movie; there is just something about a lonely farmhouse surrounded by ghouls. Island of Terror is wonderful as well.

[SeattleGirl]

19. The original Night of the Living Dead

Campy, cheesy, and scary, all rolled into one!

[Casper Alabaster]

20. Re-Animator, 1985.

Give it a whirl.

[gizmonic]

67. I concur

"You're never going to receive credit for my discovery. Who's going to believe a talking head? Get a job in a sideshow."




I *heart* Jeffrey Combs

[Evoman]

69. Isn't that the movie where the head give the one girl...well...head?

:puke:

[mockmonkey]

21. Return of the Living Dead

Two reasons

#1 Rabid weasels
#2 The sick realization that the reason the dead eat the brains of the living is because DEATH IS PAINFUL

Dan O'Bannon...you sick and funny bastard.

[vi5]

31. That was a great one as well...

..and also the song from .45 Grave that they played during the commercials to that movie and in the movie itself.

[Little Wing]

47. haha

I had a friend who was dead sure (pun intended) that if a movie had "Based on true events" in the beginning, it HAD to have happened because they're not allowed to lie. He never did get back to me about the missing nuke explosion in a US city.


Send. More. Cops.

[bicentennial_baby]

23. Which one is the one where the zombie wrestles a shark

underwater? Italian, I think...

[vi5]

24. That's Zombi, by Fulci...

Great movie.

[bicentennial_baby]

25. I thought so...I love that scene

:D

[Lautremont]

57. I think it's Dr. Butcher, M.D. (Medical Deviate)

Can't remember the original title, but it's a different movie than Zombie.

[vi5]

62. Well, in Zombie there's definitely that scene...

There is most definitely a zombie vs. shark scene in Fulci's Zombie. May be one in that other movie too, but it is also in Zombie.

[bicentennial_baby]

64. Yeah, and I've never heard of the other one, so

Zombie was the one I was thinking of :)

[MrSlayer]

26. Original Dawn of the Dead.

A classic and my favorite.

[stuntcat]

39. that's what I picked

It was too hard to decide though, 2 Dawns and 2 Nights and Shawn all on there :crazy:
Dawn 2004 is the most fun to watch truly, to me-

[bridgit]

27. Shaun of the Dead...

[SteppingRazor]

28. I refuse to vote until I have the chance to see Grindhouse...

the film critic for the paper I work at LOVED it, and she's hard to please.

[Hobarticus]

34. Whew...

And I thought I was the only freak looking forward to that.

[vi5]

29. Shaun of the Dead is a comedy, not a zombie movie...

Why do people treat that as a serious zombie movie. It was a clever comedy but a not great zombie movie. I don't like comedy and horror mixing at all personally.

Night of the Living Dead is still the best however many years later to me. The Dawn of the Dead remake was really good which I was surprised by.

Side note, I still laugh hysterically when watching the original Dawn of the Dead, at the guy who keeps trying to get his blood pressure taken in the mall kiosk blood pressure machine, while all this zombie chaos is going on around him. Until he finally gets killed trying to do so. What is the story behind that scene? It's just so odd and random.

[LostInAnomie]

72. I thought Shaun of the Dead made a great dramatic shift...

... at the end. When they are holed up in the bar the movie makes a great and sudden shift from being a comedy to serious horror/suspense. The zombie action in the bar is on par with some of the other great zombie movies.

[Hobarticus]

32. What, no "Day of the Dead" or "Land of the Dead"?!?

S'alright, they stank.

Original "Dawn of the Dead". Disembodied hands down.

[baldguy]

33. Jesus Camp

or Saved

[slj0101]

35. NOTLD: I'm a purist.

That film was groundbreaking in terms of gory horror flicks. Shaun of the Dead is by far the best horror parody, because it doesn't go over the top.

[rbnyc]

41. I'm with you.

However, there are so many great ones worth noting. I'm a big fan of the Resident Evil Movies, myself. And the remake of Dawn of the Dead was outstanding!

Shaun of the dead was really great fun. I loved all the references.

[unpossibles]

42. as much as I love the original NOTLD and Shaun of the Dead

I have to go with Dawn (the old one, of course - the new was good, but should have been more of an homage than a remake).

It has a great set up - the mall scenes are just brilliant and a great commentary on humanity - and a biker gang. What more can you ask for?

and as for 28 Days Later (which is not really a zombie movie), it is also more about the evil of humanity as well - many of the truly horrific things done, besides the rabid cannibalism, are done by people not infected.

[Deep13]

48. Return of the Living Dead

[gizmonic]

52. BURTISASLAVEDRIVER

*Snarf*

Deep13, you are on Clu Gulager watch. :rofl:

[Deep13]

55. I think there is a skeleton farm in India.

:7

[gizmonic]

58. But I don't care darling, because I love you...

and you've got to let me eat your brains. :P :*

[aikoaiko]

49. My friends and I often debate which is the best rifle and round to kill the zombies.

I'm sticking with an ar-15 in 5.56 with eotech.

ps. I voted for night of the living dead. I've rewatched that one more than any other.

[gizmonic]

54. Ya want something that'll "kill the brain, kill the ghoul...."

Just sayin' :evilgrin:

[SteppingRazor]

50. Hey, where's the Evil Dead trilogy, eh? n/t

[gizmonic]

51. How 'bout Romero's "The Crazies?"

Well, maybe not quite zombieish but still an excellent flick. Up there w/NOTLD, imo.

Similar to 28 Days Later.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0069895/

[sniffa]

53. night of the creeps

[Poiuyt]

59. "I Walked With A Zombie"

Great old film. Made in 1943 by Val Lewton. Not graphic and childish like the modern ones, but very eerie. It will give you the creeps.

[Bassic]

61. Shaun of the Dead,

hands down.

[Swede]

63. Messiah of Evil.

Spooky,creepy, gory. I loved it.

[ronnykmarshall]

66. Other: The Night of the Living Whole Foods Shoppers

[Evoman]

70. I love ALL zombie movies.

And I even love video games where you get to kill zombies. I was disappointed with Resident Evil 4 because it didn't have REAL zombies. That being said, the Dawn of the Dead movies are my fav (the original was better, but the remake was pretty damn good...some fast zombies).

My friends like Vampires and werewolves. I think they are all fucking losers. Zombies are bar none the best, funniest, and scariest creatures of the night.

[gizmonic]

71. Dude, watch what you say about werewolves...

I was a teenage werewolf once...







But I got better.:)
