Currently watching Dawn of the Dead (2004) on SyFy. What are some of your favorite Zombie movies? I'm a fan of Zombieland, myself. Can't recall many others that I have seen, but I know there are plenty. Oh, and of course, Zombie Strippers.

The original "Night of the Living Dead" is probably my favorite, with the original "Dawn of the Dead" 2nd.

Yes, based on the Max Brooks book of the same name.

Never a fan of the 28 Days series. The george romero series has mentioned is the best.

Also, White Zombie. And do either of the Pet Sematary movies count?

I'd say Pet Semetary counts, they're kinda zombies. They made a 2nd?

28 Days Later for me. That opening scene of deserted London is so badass.

Yes. It was somewhat comical. The dude who came back from the dead is more zombie-like (which is why I thought of it) than the kid in the first.

And before Gibby comes around to this, I'll go ahead and say it: Thriller.

28 Days Later is my favorite. I love zombie movies, even though this one isn't a traditional zombie movie (where the dead come back to life) it is my favorite because of its originality, so-to-speak.

Shaun of the dead and Zombieland are the best. Zombies are comedic gold.

And he was played by Clancy Brown in ULTIMATE OVER-ACTING BADASS JERK form. He made that crap movie watchable.

The original Romero trilogy is tops for me.

It's not a movie, but I'm slobbering over the return of ​The Walking Dead


edit: Just looked it up; Walking Dead premiers on October 16.

These ones were pretty good (given the fact the spoofs sometimes get too campy for me).

28 Days later also ranks up there for me. That opening scene in London is pretty good (Shart myself everytime he runs into that car, and the alarm goes off). But, the man in the church popping up is the best/worst thing ever.
