evilcartoonist31 Oct 2013 4:53 p.m. PST

Zombieland

Redroom31 Oct 2013 5:03 p.m. PST

Argh, forgot that one – good call

McWong7331 Oct 2013 5:08 p.m. PST

All very good films there. Would add Rec and Rec 2 to the mix.

John the OFM31 Oct 2013 5:28 p.m. PST

Zombieland.

evilcartoonist31 Oct 2013 6:33 p.m. PST

I think it's time to get some Twinkies and pop the disc in the player tonight.

Also "28 Days Later." Best? Maybe not, but I enjoyed it.

I have to throw my hat in for my alltime favorite, Biozombie – watch only with the English dub. Normally I prefer subtitles on foreign language films, but the voice cast did an amazing job. Hilariously good fun!

For a more realistic/gritty film, I like both versions of Dawn of the Dead.

Sloppypainter31 Oct 2013 7:29 p.m. PST

Dead Snow. Gotta love Nazi zombies.

Tango0131 Oct 2013 9:05 p.m. PST

Dawn of the dead 2004.
Sad they not made another one after their arrival to the island.
Second place: Zombieland.

Armand you have to watch the credits at the end!! it does not go well for them.

marcus arilius31 Oct 2013 9:24 p.m. PST

Horror Express, Telly Savalas is great as the Cossack Capt. link

Space Monkey31 Oct 2013 9:40 p.m. PST

The original Night of the Living Dead is still my favorite. The zombies in it have a certain something that later ones lack.
Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things is another one I like.
Along with the various versions of Night, Dawn and Day of the Dead.
The zombies in the Italian ones like Zombie are some of the most hideous/disgusting I've seen.

Zombieland just didn't work for me… OK at first but once they got to the amusement park it got dumb fast.

I'll be the one to nitpick that the Rec movies and Horror Express are not zombie films… they're more stories of demonic possession.

Also, special subcategory for the various traditional zombies in voodoo films where they're more like slaves/familiars instead of ravenous ghouls.
I'll take White Zombie for that one… even if the soundtrack music is a bit crazy overbearing.

Cyrus the Great31 Oct 2013 11:13 p.m. PST

No "Cockneys vs. Zombies"?

Tango0131 Oct 2013 11:23 p.m. PST

My freind, I remember when they were at the island under another zombie attack, but there were still people on the boat. Or not…? Now I have some doubts.

Tokyo Zombie. Seriously.

Fish01 Nov 2013 4:26 a.m. PST

The whole original Romero trilogy (with Dawn the longer verion is preferred. Didn't Argento cut it?)

corporalpat01 Nov 2013 5:51 a.m. PST

I would add Outpost, Outpost2, and Blood Creek in the Nazi Zombie category.

Sir Walter Rlyeh01 Nov 2013 7:06 a.m. PST

Return of the Living Dead – Punks vs Zombies in a funeral home run by an ex Nazi! Just sayin'. The sequils to Return sucked but the original was great. Send more cops.

marcus arilius01 Nov 2013 8:25 a.m. PST

no Armand only the dog survived.

religon01 Nov 2013 8:56 a.m. PST

The very best movies in this genre are fine, but not great…Night of the Living Dead, [Rec], World War Z, Zombieland. I rather liked an old Lugosi B-movie White Zombie.

leidang01 Nov 2013 9:21 a.m. PST

Warm Bodies

Tango0101 Nov 2013 10:56 a.m. PST

My (bad) memory gives me the imagen of the African American Cop shooting and shouting to the young male with the camera to run to the boat.
The camera fall down and one zombie look directly to the camera lents… (?).
The girls shouted from the boat beging the men to return to it…(?)

World War Z

The only zombie movie with a half way intelligent human response.

Has no one in zombie movie every heard of tanks or artillery?

Has no one in zombie movie every heard of tanks or artillery?

…or flamethrowers, napalm, DPICM rounds, cluster bombs…

Good point. Most zombie flicks you see the occasional yo-yo with a .375 magnum or a shot gun but why not an M-60 or M-249. Hummer mounted minigun in 7.62 NATO anybody? That would chew up zeds nicely.

kodiakblair02 Nov 2013 9:52 a.m. PST

Nobody mentioned the Blind Dead Series. It's a Spanish collection from the 70's concerning you guessed it Blind Zombies. Only this time they're cursed Templar Knights.
They're good movies with a unique slant on the zombie theme.
You can get the collection on Amazon UK here.

Not a movie, but it's better than any zombie movie, the "We're Alive" podcast on iTunes.

Tango0102 Nov 2013 11:22 p.m. PST

I just see "Juan of the dead" and it was really funny!.
A Cuban Zombie movie!.
Recomended to see!.
