Favorite Zombie Movie

I'm game for almost any zombie movies.

 

In recent Zombie films I truly liked World War Z. I probably wouldn't survive, I'm just a spoiled city boy! XD

 

Yeah my 15 year old and I were talking one night while watching The Walking Dead, and concluded that we would be one of the first to die in an actual zombie apocalypse.
I liked WWZ too but that had more to do with Brad Pitt than the actual movie itself

 

My entire family watches TWD, we concluded that we'd hide far away in the woods somewhere. I probably wouldn't die from zombies, my most likely demise scenario is falling off a tree trying to get cell phone reception.

 

I really like Resident Evil and Zombieland and ofc The Walking Dead if that counts as movie
And yea actually I think I'd survive maybe not til the end but quite a while maybe. Idk rly why but I have a feeling I'm made for extreme situations. Kind of weird...

 

The Twilight movies. The way everybody acts I assume they're zombie movies.

World War Z was terrible for me. On its own I guess it's a decent movie, but I'm a fan of the book and it's nothing like the movie. The book was so, so much better and the movie to me just becomes a steaming pile of wasted potential.

 

I really liked Zombieland and Warm Bodies.

There's no way I'd survive. My brains would be the first dish on the menu!

 

I loved Zombieland!

There's not many good zombie movies since most are just low budget crap. At least we have Walking Dead!

 

I don't understand the praise for Walking Dead. It's less of a zombie show and more of an asshole show. You might see a glimpse of a zombie if you're lucky. I watched the first season and then I was done.

 

To each their own, I like it but I understand it's not for everyone.

 

SHAUN OF THE DEAD!!!!! ALWAYS!!!! Although, Zombieland is awesome too ;D

 

Shaun of the Dead was hilarious lol

 

Dawn of the Dead remake for me, the 2004 one. The beginning scenes are the most memorable zombie anything I ever saw, particularly the shot when she leaves the houses and we get to see how the entire street is going to hell right there and then.

 

Probably the earlier George A. Romero films, the so-called Dead Trilogy:

Night of the Living Dead.
Dawn of the Dead.
Day of the Dead.

I've seen the remakes to all three of these and, with some exception, they don't hold a candle to the originals. I really dislike running zombies, but that conversation can wait.

Now, why do I like them? Well, Night of the Living Dead is what took an obscure concept and pushed it into pop culture. Also, I like the fact the film gives a big fuck you to race, but it also messes with the viewer at the end. That ending...

Dawn of the Dead is more or less how I envision a zombie apocalypse. The remake had too many characters, it felt too... sitcom-like... while the original was about that dreaded sense of isolation. I also found the scenes in the mall to be amusing, though the remake had it's moments with this.

Day of the Dead has grown on me. I didn't like it much when I was younger, but going back with a more mature mindset has allowed me to appreciate it. For one, I love the primary antagonist, Captain Rhodes, who is a superb villain. But I love the emphasis on the sense of hopelessness the underground crew faces, because it fuels the tension as well as the climax.

As for The Walking Dead. I understand they made Rick from Georgia for filming reasons, but I will never forgive them for it. Originally, in the comics, he's from Kentucky. I also find the series likes to drag at points, but you know, that's the show trying to balance drama and action with the material they have to work with. Could it be done better? Yes, but that would require them toning down some things, which many of the casual fans find enjoyable.

I believe I've covered the basics.

 

This thread makes me want to watch Shaun Of The Dead just to see what I've been missing.

 

I like it, but not to the levels some people do. I think it would have worked better as a short skit, honestly.




Just realized I didn't answer your other question, about whether or not I could survive in the movies I chose...

Night of the Living Dead, I think so.
Dawn of the Dead, maybe, depending on where I was and with whom.
Day of the Dead, this is tough to say, because it's implied humanity is practically done for. But if I've gone this long, I may as well see it through to the end.

 

If I'm looking for a somewhat-lighter zombie movie, it's Zombieland. If I'm looking for a lot of action/gore (and not a lot of plot), it's Resident Evil.
