For me it's still the original Dawn of the Dead.

Return of the living dead 3

Spoiler

lol no.. but it has the hottest zombie of the forever

 

[Gravy Boat]

REC. is probably my favourite if you pretend the sequels never happened.

I'm really sad that World War Z got bastardised the way it did. It had such potential.

 

[mcz117chief]

Zombieland is the only one I enjoyed since it takes something as stupid and ridiculous as zombies and turns it into an awesome comedy. Bill Murray won that movie for me!

 

[GK86]

Tied between Dawn of the Dead (remake), Rec and 28 Days Later.

When I saw REC for the first time, it blew me away. The concept of REC 2 was cool it's just that too bad the story shat the bed in the end.

Return of the Living Dead

Funny and terrifying.

 

[Coin Return]

Dawn of the Dead is still the best.

The commentary tracks on the theatrical and extended DVDs are really great, too. Romero was a million dollars in debt, so thankfully the movie was a hit.

 

[nortonff]

Is this considered a zombie movie ?

and REC is really amazing

 

[Elysium-777]

Dawn of Dead Remake.

Most other Zombie movies are subpar when compared to it.

Yeah, I liked REC 2 initially because it was at least moving away from the cliches and trying to put a different spin on the traditional zombie story, it just leaned too much into it and ruined what it had going.

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Garfield maybe"

 

[Kup]

I still find Night of the Living Dead creepy. Dawn of the Dead has some comedy relief in it which I enjoy though.

 

[darkwing-buck]

Return of the Living Dead

Love that movie, good zombie movie but it's a even better comedy film IMO

 

[ThoseDeafMutes]

Shaun of the dead is up there, as a love letter to the genre at a time before it had fully taken off as the bacon of movie genres.

 

[obin_gam]

Return of the Living Dead

Funny and terrifying.

TONIGHT...
WE'LL MAKE LOVE TIL WE DIE!

 

[Lubricus]

28 Days Later and Zombieland are tied in first place for me.

 

[Aiii]

Dawn of Dead Remake.

It really was a good combination of trash/blockbuster polish/humor.

REC is zombie? Always thought it's just another horror flic. Putting it on my list. Just Finished "The Remaining" book series from DJ Molles and are in Zombie vibe mood.

 

[Askherserenity]

28 Days Later

Shaun of the Dead

Original Rec

 

[Ohnonono]

28 Days Later is the one that I watch the most.

 

[mcz117chief]

"Do you have any regrets?"

"Garfield maybe"

That fucking killed me, man

One of the greatest quotes in the movie history

 

[EGM1966]

OP kills his own thread. Dawn of the Dead is still the best zombie film by my personal global criteria of "those who know what they're talking about".

We've seen some fun stuff like Zombieland and the like but Dawn is the gold standard. The rotting champ.

 

[Y-Z]

Shaun of the dead for me!

 

[Currygan]

yup, DOTD is still the overall best zombie movie ever, and a damn masterpiece in its own right

 

[Nyx]

Dawn of the Dead remake.

Yes I liked it more than the original.

 

[JoeNut]

I think my favourite is 28 days later, i actually really enjoyed world war Z

 

[BBQMan]

Serious: Dawn of the Dead Remake

Funny: Shaun of the Dead

 

[Razmos]

Twilight.

..wait, Kristen Stewart wasn't playing a decaying, shambling emotionless monster? Well now I'm embarrassed.

 

[Maklershed]

Tied between Dawn of the Dead (remake), Rec and 28 Days Later.

Nailed it. These are the only ones I can (and have) watched multiple times.

 

[Donos]

wtf. Seems that i haven't see the original Dawn of the Dead (1978, called "Zombie" in germany) yet, seeing the trailer. On my list now.

 

[Vyrance]

Dawn of the dead remake or 28 days later

 

[old manatee]

The original Night of the Living Dead is still about as good as it gets.

 

[lazygecko]

 

[darkwing-buck]

Surprised to see DotD Remake on a lot of people's radars, I remember liking it when it first came out but I saw it recently and something about it put me off.

 

[Kain]

Serious: Dawn of the Dead Remake

Funny: Shaun of the Dead

This.

 

[| Praxis |]

Serious: Dawn of the Dead Remake

No, just no.

The original Dawn of the Dead is the best ever made, followed by Night of the Living Dead and lastly Day of the Dead.

Edit: can't belive how many people are saying the remake. I wish a real zombie apocalypse happened, to wipe the slate clean.

 

[ImpalingNarwhal]

I was pleasantly surprised by Zombieland, but I'd probably have to go with Shaun of the Dead.

 

[cacildo]

I dont know

But i think Dawn of the Dead Remake is the best remake ever made

 

[WedgeX]

Shaun of the Dead.

A shame we'll never get the HBO miniseries version of World War Z.

 

[Ban Puncher]

Wild Zero

 

[Gravy Boat]

I dont know

But i think Dawn of the Dead Remake is the best remake ever made

I think it would have been fantastic if they'd made it like a series of WW2 documentaries. Interviews with survivors, archive footage, visiting key sites etc. Such as wasted opportunity.

I'll never forgive you Brad Pitt!

 

[Skulldead]

I would say Versus.... I'm kidding

28 days later and Rec are amazing.

 

[Camwi]

Zombieland is the only one I enjoyed since it takes something as stupid and ridiculous as zombies and turns it into an awesome comedy. Bill Murray won that movie for me!

Toss up between this and the Dawn of the Dead remake.

No, just no.

Get over yourself, dude. It's a fucking fantastic remake.

That would have been great. Instead we got a dumb action film.

Get over yourself, dude. It's a fucking fantastic remake.

It was okay, but the baby scene was terrible, as was the zombie truck. It was too over the top. It peaked with the opening scene and never got any better, only worse.

The original is more my pace, has better characters, a fucking amazing soundtrack by Goblin and I love the practical effects.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

I love Return of the Living Dead. RotLD2 is like the worst piece of garbage I have ever seen though lmao.

3 is quite good however.

 

[Gravy Boat]

That would have been great. Instead we got a dumb action film.

It would have been great AND it would have been a suitable movie adaptation of the book. World War Z as we know it has nothing to do with the book. It's just another zombie movie that Brad Pitt wanted to pass off as being a book adaptation to pull in an existing fan base.

 

[Yaponchik]

Argento's Dèmoni scared the shit out of me when i was a kid.

 

[Nokterian]

Return of the Living Dead

Funny and terrifying.

My man *brofist*

James Rolfe did a piece about it with his Monster Madness i love this movie it doesn't get enough recognition,

Tarman! Look at the effects and this is from 1985 still looks fantastic..also they talk!
