Favorite Zombie Movie (Walking Dead Excluded)

[Baitball Blogger]

The one I can see frequently is 28 Days Later. Though I still don't know why the guy was on the hospital bed at the beginning of the movie. On edit: ust heard it on t.v. He was in a car accident. I think.

The one I hate is 28 Weeks Later. Anyone know if there was a sequel to this one?

1. Shaun of The Dead!

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Yeah. That's a good one,

[Rambis]

13. 2nd (nm)

[nolabear]

32. Third.

Love it.

[HopeHoops]

3. "Night of the Living Dead" - the original.

[AllenVanAllen]

14. That's my choice too.

Second would be the original 'Dawn of the Dead' and 'Return of the Living Dead' in third place.

[NightWatcher]

20. The original had the best ending

Spoiler




The lone survivor in the house gets shot in the head, great!

They're coming to get you Barbara.

[HopeHoops]

34. The uncensored version is really gross for those that like such things.

But yes, the original had a great ending. The uncensored version shows the little girl eating her dad's innards with a hand trowel or something. It's been a LOOOONNNGGG time since I've seen any of them.

4. Shaun of the Dead...

close second for me is the 2004 remake of Dawn of the Dead.

Honourable Mentions: Dead Snow and DeadGirl.

5. Ooohh...

I haven't seen Dead Snow or DeadGirl. Do they play often on HBO or showtime?

[SidDithers]

6. No, you might have to go looking for them online...

Dead Snow is a Norwegian film - can't remember if it's dubbed or subtitles. It's great, tho. Not just zombies, but Nazi zombies:



DeadGirl is disturbing. It's not a pleasant movie at all, but it's a gripping look at descending morals.

Because of the subject matter, it's not really HBO or Showtime fare. Again,, you may have to go looking for it online.

Cheers,
Sid

7. Thanks Sid!

22. Don't watch Deadgirl with anyone unless they know you very well.

It's.......icky. But also a very interesting take on the genre. Dead Snow is freaking awesome, but see it subtitled.
Other than that,
Dawn of the Dead (2004). I know that's sacrilege for a lot of Romero purists, but it's a damn good zombie movie. It also uses music very well, the opening credits with Johnny Cash's "When the Man comes around" is brilliant

While "28 Weeks later" has several flaws, the opening rager attack is maybe one of the scariest intense scenes around.

If you like your movies with an extra helping of cheese, I recommend "Flight of the Living Dead: Outbreak on a Plane"

"Fido" is a really cute Zombie movie from Canada. Yeah, I said cute.

peace,

26. DeadGirl

Ohh, sick, sick, sick.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deadgirl_%282008_film%29

[SidDithers]

27. Yeah. Fido was cute...

I like Billy Connolly in anything, tho. Loved him in the Boondocks flix. And Trinity as a mom

I liked 28 Days too. It was much better than 28 Weeks.

Now I have to go find Flight of the Living Dead. Thanks for the suggestion.

28. Let us know where you find it.

thanks for the correction.

[SidDithers]

31. Ack no!...

That was Zombieland

[Swede]

8. The Messiah of Evil was kinda different than the rest.

It had an HP Lovecraft old ones evil to it.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. I haven't seen that one either.

I'm bookmarking this thread.

[Shrek]

10. Zombieland n/t

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Of Course.

Every cast member carried their own weight.

That was Woody Harrelson's comeback kid movie. He's been hot ever since.

[ceile]

12. 28 Days Later

Sacry as hell and Cillian Murphy is nice on the eyes.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

15. Return of the Living Dead

That Hagen Girl

[Capt. Obvious]

16. Night Of The Comet

Awesome movie, and awesome 80's wardrobe/hair.

Night Of The Creeps is a good one too.

[Iggo]

17. Night Of The Comet = Best.Movie.Ever.

"Daddy would've gotten us Uzis."

...and:

"We're going to play a little game. It's called Scary Noises."

...and:

"I don't think you understand, Miss. I CAN'T have you taking my people HOSTAGE!"

...and:

"WHAT? You don't believe in SANTA?!?!"

...and, of course:

"We do NOT cross against the LIGHT!"

18. The Undefeated

19. No fair. This is the zombie movie with a twist because it still

operates without a head.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

21. Probably go with 'Shaun' also, but

Rob Zombie's Haunted World of El Superbeasto had the best Zombie-Nazi musical sequence! Love the lyrics and Beatles style chase scene music. (sorry, can't find a better quality clip on you tube anymore)

[WhoIsNumberNone]

33. OK- That just made my video bucket list

[harmonicon]

23. I'm a big fan of The Last Man on Earth

It's only sort of a zombie film, I guess, but only because Romero and Fulci defined the genre so well, but specifically. Earlier zombie films were far more varied, but often not so great. Fulci's Zombi is definitely up there too... Man, I just like zombie films.

[Baitball Blogger]

24. I don't know what it is about them, but I'm addicted to them too.

I think it's because there's a feeling that there's no talking sense to some people that makes it a reflection of "real life."

[harmonicon]

25. I don't know if I'm addicted anymore.

There was a time (several years time) when I would watch THE WORST films if they were zombie films - I'm talking about the bottom of the barrel direct to video dreck. I found no hidden treasures that way, but did find good ways to entertain myself while drinking a six pack or bottle of wine late at night.

Part of what's fascinating about it is that it's not just some people who are zombies, but that it could potentially be anyone, at any time. It's also just a very simple way to set up a situation with an unambiguous enemy that all of those remaining are against and that we as viewers won't side with or can't feel sympathy towards.

29. Both Dawn of the Dead movies

As well as the original Night of the Living Dead.

I don't think there was a sequel to 28 Weeks Later.
