All pretty good films IMO, although I wasn't that much into "day"...

Anyway, I've seen a few zombie films in my time, among my favourites are NOTLD, Shaun of the dead, and Versus...all for different reasons.
Now, myself and my chick usually buy pretty much 75%+ bootleg dvds, not crappy cinema cam ones, actual retail rips (good supplier)...but we tend to buy the official copies of the films we really like.
Then I got NOTLD and Day, and eventually Dawn, all officials...so, we both like zombie films, so we decided to get a huge collection of official zombie movie dvds going...at this point we've only just started, apart from 3-4 bootleg movies, we have the dead trilogy, I got a UK version Shaun of the Dead through ebay, we have the dawn of the dead remake, and yes, I own resident evil...I just like seeing zombies get blasted...is that wrong?
I hear the colour remake of NOTLD is pretty damn good, so that's next on my list...If it's even ON dvd.., and another one I REALLY want to see is Cemetary Man (?Dellamorte dellamore/Dead Love?), and zombie holocaust looks interesting too, I've also heard Near Dark might be worth a look?

Ok, so I want some advice from any of you guys that actually talk about horror here...as I said, I wanna get a collection goin' on...
I'm not just talking about US/UK films either, if it's a good zombie film, in ANY respect, I wanna hear about it, no matter WHERE it's from.
Please hit me with some reccomendations with brief descriptions.
Thanks.

ultimate edition?

ChEEbA 01-18-2005 06:49 PM

I'm not sure...I'll have a look.
Nope, just the normal edition...but hey, I only really got it for the movie, and there's a 75 minute documentary on it too, so that aint bad...


More suggestions please ppl...

HEY??? WHAT THE?!?
I was looking on ebay to find more zombie films cheap...and, I find Lucio Fulci's "Zombie"...to be honest, I know little about this guy other than his films are meant to be pretty gory?
ok, so I read the description:

"After a New York harbor patrolman is murdered at the hands of a flesh-hungry ghoul aboard what was believed to be an abandoned yacht, Anne (Tisa Farrow)--the daughter of the ship's missing owner--teams up with a newspaper reporter named Peter West (Ian McCulloch) for a private investigation. With the help of a pair of sightseers, they travel to the secluded Caribbean island of Matul, where Anne's father was last seen conducting medical research. There, they meet his colleague, Dr. Menard (Richard Johnson), who frantically attempts to find a scientific explanation for a phenomenon that has plagued the island; it seems as if the dead refuse to stay dead. The locals believe a voodoo curse is at work as scores of animated corpses rise from their graves to hungrily seek out live flesh. Anne learns her father has died, but before she and the others can return to civilization, they are forced into battle with a plethora of bloodthirsty zombies. Italian maestro Lucio Fulci's most lucrative outing features an abundance of shockingly gruesome sequences filmed in the director's regular close-up style, wasting none of frequent collaborator Giannetto De Rossi's amazing makeup effects. The ominous synthesizer soundtrack by Fabio Frizzi splendidly shrouds the action with simplistic, yet catchy hooks that are sure to continue buzzing in viewer's mind long after the film's spine-chilling ending. Released abroad as a sequel to George A. Romero's DAWN OF THE DEAD, produced by Dario Argento in Italy as ZOMBI."

That last bit....released abroad as a sequel to Romeros Dawn of the Dead???
How the hell does this work?!?
Anyone?

Also, there's a lot of old horror movies available on laserdisk, are those the BIG laserdisks or the small ones that can be played on some dvd players?

Also, ppl...I still need more suggestions, I KNOW there's a lot more zombie films to talk about, between all of you - we should be able to cover a lot, please...MORE SUGGESTIONS!!!
Or, yknow if everyone could just name their personal top 5?
Doesn't matter what the country of origin, or how old or new, if it as zombies in it, I wanna know about it...

Also....look at this:

I recently got the original Dawn of the Dead dvd aswell, divimax edition or something.

Anyway, definately get the 1990 version of NOTLD and Cemetary Man. They are both awesome movies, I like the 1990's version of NOTLD better than the original.

laserdiscs are 12" ... there were dvd/laserdisc combos back in the day - hard to find and expensive now. (they both use the same laser technology.

no .. but dont worry - it wont stay 1cent .. it'll shoot up to 5 - 10$ by the last day.

if you see it you'll just get pissed off.

ChEEbA 01-20-2005 01:35 PM

Actually, I never saw it...even before I heard the bad reviews, that being pretty much all of them, I had seen the trailer myself and I dunno, just decided I could do without ever seeing this film...

Yes Urgeok, there's HEAPS of stuff on laserdisk that is yet to be released on dvd...I know the big ones that you're talking about...they still sell new LD players in some places...but I've also seen laserdisk DISKS that were only the size of cds also, maybe they were just a pirate thing, I dunno....

Thankyou for the suggestions so far, PLEASE keep 'em coming ppl...

ChEEbA 01-20-2005 01:38 PM

Still going through ebay....
There's a double dvd movie pack called "the zombie double feature".
It has the original night of the living dead, which I already own, and also has one called "revenge of the zombies"

Nazi zombies?!?
Has anyone seen this one?
