Your favorite zombie movies
Now I hate it when a zombie movie takes 45mins for the shit to hit the fan some of the best ones the shit starts during the intro or within the first 10mins but my two favorites don't, they just end so awesomely that it makes up for it:
Dead Snow & Dead Alive so what are your favorites & why? |
Dead Snow was the Norwegian/ Nazi flick, right? It was ok in parts, kinda fun...
Some of my favourites include: Night of the Living Dead Dawn of the Dead Cemetery Man Plague of Zombies Zombi 2 Outside of Night of the Living Dead, my favourite zombie flick is The Video Dead. Great Fulci styled zombies, creative and unique ideas (story is not all that creative, just certain aspects are awesome) and tons of nostalgia. |
White Zombie and Fido.
|
Besides the classics, I really like Cemetery Man and Wild Zero.
|
I have a taste for cheese
I know the movies I like are cheesy but I would rather see people fighting zombies than spending the whole movie running & hiding from them and then just end it with a big ass explosion.

Night of the Living Dead. likes- Movie stays very realistic, kind of a "the birds" vibe. creepy fitting soundtrack, good pacing. not well developed characters, but very believable, and you care about them.
|
Return of the Living Dead: Just a really fun movie with a great cast, great storyline, and a great soundtrack
Doghouse: Fun British Zombie comedy Dawn of the Dead ('04 reboot): Greatest remake/reboot ever Zombi 3: WHile Zombi 2 gets a lot of attention because of the swimming zombi, its very plodding and dull in some parts. I find Zombi 3 a lot more entertaining Land of the Dead: Most thought provoking zombie movie, and one of the only zombie movies that makes you really wonder who the true monsters are. |
28 Days Later would be very close to one of my all time favorite zombie movie.

Night Of The Living Dead-simply because it's the best
|
My favorites are:
Night of the Living Dead (both the original and the remake) Day of the Dead Dawn of the Dead (the remake) Land of the Dead Resident Evil (only the first one, the rest sucked) 28 Days Later Hell of the Living Dead (pretty bad rip-off of Dawn of the Dead but it was still an entertaining zombie movie) Two movies that I really want to see are Zombi 2 and Nightmare City. After watching Hell of the Living Dead I've been wanting to get more Itallian zombie movies and those two looked really good. |
Hard to choose just one.
But... I'll go with I Eat Your Skin. |
Dawn of the Dead (original)
Dawn of the Dead (remake) Night of the Living Dead (original) Night of the Living Dead (remake, it was OK!) Day of the Dead (original) Land of the Dead The Horde Dead Snow 28 Days Later The Dead Zombie Flesheaters Zombieland Shaun of the Dead My minds gone blank! I'm sure there's more than that! |
I have a new favorite zombie movie. Its not a horror, but a romantic comedy.
Drum roll.............WARM BODIES. I watched it with my gf not expecting anything, but it turned out to be really well done, funny, and heart warming. Definitely worth a watch. |
Oh yeah I remember Warm Bodies, it was actually pretty good. :)
|
I agree, Warm Bodies was surprisingly good.
But my list would be the same as a lot of others - the first 4 Romero ones, the Savini remake plus Shaun of the Dead and the first 2 Return of the Living Deads. |
Shaun of the Dead and Return of the Living Dead (the tar zombie was my favorite)
|
Would be Night of the living dead (remake), Return of the Living Dead, Shaun of the Dead.. these are my most favorite.

Here is a list of my top-ten favorite zombie movies (in order of preference) with explanations on why I like them:
1.The Night of the Living Dead (1968)- A very brilliant film. The film that created the zombie sub-genre in its preset and most known format. I loved the social and political messages- intended or not, they are still there. The acting was sometimes a little stale, but, generally, really good. Definitely one of the best, if not the best (which it is according to me), zombie films. 2. The Evil Dead (1981)- I know, it is debatable whether these are zombies or not, but I consider them to be demonic zombies. This movie was an all-around great film and honestly it is my favorite in the (Evil Dead) series. 3. Diary of the Dead (2008)- I know a lot of people hated this movie, but I loved it. I actually thought it was quite brilliant. The films featured a great deal of zombies and was even funny at parts, while also very effectively exploring the dark side of humanity. It was a great comment on the times that we are living in. Granted, it has a very dark, somber tone, but I actually thoroughly liked that aspect of the film. It shocks me that so many people hate this movie. 4. 28 Days Later (2002)- It could be argued that the zombies is this film are not really zombies because they were not necessarily dead, but for all intents and purposes they were zombies. I thought this film was a very well-made British film. That was very effective at exploring the dark side of humanity. What is fascinating is that this film is more about the humans than the zombies. 5. Dawn of the Dead (1978)- Definitely a very good movie. I loved the political and social themes. The acting was really good and the story equally good. This film, like all the best zombie films, effectively explores humanity- the good and bad side. The remake was pretty good too, but the original is,by far, better. 6. Return of the Living Dead (1985)- I thought this was a very good movie and I especially liked the humorous aspects of it. As well as some of the one-liners, my favorite being "send more paramedics". The ending is also pretty funny, in my opinion 7. The Evil Dead (2013)- Of course, the original Evil Dead is brilliant (and still my favorite of the two), but I found the remake to be really good as well. The plot was interesting and they did a great deal of character development for a modern film. I especially liked how they used elements of the original film, but used them in new and interesting ways, creating an entirely different film. 8. Zombie 2 (1980)- This film was very interesting indeed. In the usual Fulci fashion, it has a very unique logic. That is what is so fascinating about many of Fulci's films. The film was quite captivating especially being a B-Movie and includes such scenes as a zombie fighting with a (tiger) shark and,of course, the famous eye-gouging out scene. Definitely a must-see. 9. Shaun of the Dead (2004)- This film was definitely a very interesting spin on the zombie genre. Personally, I did not really consider it laugh out loud funny, although it certainly had such moments. It was more of a situational comedy. Overall, I thought the film was very interesting and unique (and definitely recommend seeing it). 10. The Beyond (1981)- This film is not the usual, straight zombie film. Zombies are just one of the creatures featured. This film also included witches (a witch, I think), ghosts, and spiders (among other things). Like other Fulci films, this follows a unique logic, but the logic of this is far more out-there than some of his other films. This film is more closely described as a nightmare being caught on film. Despite its unusual nature (which, by the way, is what I love about it), it is definitely worth a watch. So, here is the list of my top-ten zombie films. Of course, I know that not everyone will agree with it and that is fine. I should also note that there are still some zombie films I have not seen such as, Zombieland, Dead Snow, Fido, Cemetary Man, any Day of the Dead films, I am Legend, or 28 Weeks later. |
I will definitely be looking into Fulci's films. I have not seen any of them. I especially like the idea behind The Beyond (how he structured it as if it were a dream). And I have tons of recommendations! I'll give more when I get to a proper computer instead of this phone. Haha

there is so many!!!!
My favorite would have to be dawn of the dead both original and 2004 remake I used to watch the remake all the time as a kid I know that movie line for line.
Day of the dead which has nick cannon in it is pretty good the zombies are not typical slow they are fast and quite athletic. warm bodies the chick flick of zombie movies :o zombie land one of the funniest zombie movies i ever watched and i liked all the main characters well the actors i mean and i liked the whole kill of the week and the zombie tips to surviving "zombie land". evil dead i prefer the original the new one not to good i think |
There are so many different kinds of zombie movies... My favorite just straight up zombie movies would be; Dawn of the Dead, Zombi 2, Rec and 28 days later. Possably Dead Meat too.
But if more occult themed movies are to be included, a Fulci flick or two would make the list. If action is included then I would even throw in a Resident Evil movie. They are horrible but the action is just so damn entertaining... I don't know. There are just too many zombie movies and it's difficult to put one over the other since many of them are so different from each other. |
I love Zombi 2 and Shaun of the Dead.
I'm from Pittsburgh, so the original Romero movies are kind of a big deal around here. I was raised to love Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead. |
I really like Dawn of the Dead (+remake) and 28 days/months later.
And Shaun of the Dead holds a special place in my heart. By my true favourite is Splinter. |

Dawn of the Dead.

The French film Mutants offers a unique, personal spin on the zombie theme, tackling questions about what to do if a loved one were infected. The last half hour degrades a bit into run-of-the-mill zombie fighting, but the majority of the film is both suspenseful and heartbreaking, with some good body horror.

Night Of The Living Dead: Favorite one!

My favorite is George A. Romero's Dawn of the Dead.
|
Every Romero film, but Day is my Favourite
Fido Dellamorte Dellamore (Cemetary Man) there are a few I've forgotten the names of - both British one is just the name of a kid - it's a zombie movie from the perspective of the zombie and another that is more of a 28 days later kind of deal (starts in a lab) |
