I haven't watched Day of.., but it'd be pretty hard to top Dawn of the Dead ('78)

Fixed!

Without question.....Planet Terror, blows these away (IMO).

If I had to go Romero I'd say "Dawn of the Dead" and "Diary of the Dead" (Loved Diary).

I can't imagine liking any Zombie movie better than a Romero movie or ROTLD (same writer as NOTLD). But everyone is different I suppose.

Of those listed Dawn Of The Dead, excellent film, but my all time favorite zombie movie is Zombie ( Zombi 2 )...

Exactly....to each their own. I Love the Romero library of films but "Planet Terror" blew me away. Plus, I met Rose McGowan last year and after a fairly lengthy discussion she signed a pic for me. She asked me a variety of questions leading to the message she wrote...she was very cool.

My goodness, what a sad, sad little poll. So little choices.

My name says it all. While I don't by any means own every zombie movie imaginable (nor care for), I have an affection for many.

Among my favorites are Romero's original. I also love Diary. Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things is among my cheesey favs. Dead Snow is awesome.

And f*** those who don't consider Boyle's 28 movies to be "zombie" flicks. I do, and I love them, too.

This is one reason I don't care for modern zombie movies -- they are truly ripoffs of Night of the Living Dead. That movie was unique.

Without explanation, in one night the world seems to be in the grip of a totally unexplained phenomenon. They are relentless. They are mindless. The world as you know it has ended.

Ever since, it's just retreads of the same idea -- lets make them run faster, or lets try to explain the "disease" that made them that way. But it's such a unique idea, it makes no sense to keep doing it over and over again.

I do like Val Lewton's I Walked with a Zombie -- before Night of the Living Dead, "zombie" meant the voodoo kind.

Not knocking your choices, just wishing there were more. But you did good, kid, you did real good.

Al_The_Strange · 06-06-2013, 02:32 AM

My personal favorite is Planet Terror.

But since we're only voting on three George A Romero films and the one spin-off, I voted on Dawn of the Dead. I didn't like it that much at first, but on the second viewing, I found it pretty consistently entertaining. Lots of gnarly make-up effects. I like the look and style of it. Interesting social themes at work. And it is pretty amusing to watch the zombies wandering around the mall.

I wound up liking the remake too. So there.

ElliesDad · 06-06-2013, 02:40 AM

You seem to have a bit of an insurrection on your hands OP.

Why restrict the list? For sheer horror, suspense, and atmosphere my favorite would be 28 Days Later. And yes, I know the zombie-police will come a-howling!

I ain't gonna hate on ya for your likes, everybody is different. But the list is small because I was talking about my favorite Zombie movies. IMO that is.
