What's Your Favorite Zombie Flick???

Here are a few of my favorite and most popular "zombie" movies out there...I know there are as many "zombie" flicks out there as they're vampire and werewolf flicks, if not more...

If there is one that I don't have on the poll that's your favorite, and if you don't see your favorite listed in the list below, please post a comment telling us why your favorite should get honorable mention....well, here goes...

1. Night of the Living Dead (original)

2. Night of the Living Dead (remake)

3. Dawn of the Dead (original)

4. Dawn of the Dead (remake)

5. Day of the Dead

6. Land of the Dead

7. Return of the Living Dead

8. Zombie (Lucio Fulci's)

9. 28 Days Later

10. Resident Evil

I didn't have enough room to put them on the poll, but I also wanted to mention "The Dead Hate the Living" (which I thought was surprisingly good), and "Creepshow" which could also be considered a "zombie" flick due to two of the scenes involving the living dead (and one of my all-time favorite's too)....so, if I left out some honorable mentions, please post them.....

"Shaun of the Dead" or "Biozombie", and "28 Days Later" is NOT a zombie flick.

Zombies don't interest me.

'Hocus Pocus' has a zombie in it. That movie has always been a halloween classic.

Classic? Hardly.

dudes you gotta put gates of hell by fluci lucio, watch part one not two if you wish to see it its excellent TRUST ME!

What? No Dead Alive? Blasphemy!

Dead Alive would get my vote. But of your list, I voted for the original Dawn of the Dead.

gates of hell....is that 'the beyond?

thats a good zombie film, but i dont really class it as a zombie film. it doesnt feel like one. same goes for braindead(dead alive) and 28 days later.

my personal favourites are

night of the living dead
let sleeping corpses lie
dawn of the dead
day of the dead
zombie flesh eaters
undead
return of the living dead

some of my fav asian zombie films are:

junk
versus
bio zombie
wild zero

Dawn of the dead original. No doubt.

no its not the beyond its called gates of hell, priest hangs himself causing a severe autrocity to take place, his body comes back and the dead begin to rise sounds boring huh? need to see it you wouldnt think its boring after you sat through that freaky movie

From your list, I choose the original Night of the Living Dead, but I also love Shaun of the Dead. BTW, C-Dic is right: 28 Days Later is not a zombie flick. It's about disease ravaged humans run amok.

You guys are crazy ... nothing on that list beats out
Day of the Dead (1985)

Gates of hell sucks.

Dawn of the Dead and Day of the Dead are the best.

why does gates of hell suck it was excellent not just people running away from zombies but it actually kept you guessing what was happening, and the gore was over the top.

It was boring, didn't give a shit what was happening. Had like two good gore scenes, the rest was lame. Zombie and The Beyond are the best of Fulci's zombie movies.

I love "Day of the Dead" to death (no pun intended), but it's got A LOT going against it. Bad scoring, bad dialogue, bad acting, unlikeable characters, and a bland premise to name a few.

The gore quotient more than makes up for it all, as does well, Joe Pilato's entire performance, but when I compare it to all the other zombie movies I've seen, "SOTD" is the total package.

Bah. "City of the Living Dead" had one thing goin' for it, which was the gut puking scene for which it'll always be remembered. Fulci was, and still is, insanely overrated, IMO. Most people that can appreciate his work will acknowledge that his scripts were bad, and his actors even worse. He created a lot of memorable scenes, but never really a memorable movie, save "The Beyond", which I still think is average at best, and was written by Dardano Sacchetti, anyway, who wrote two KICK ASS Argento flicks in "The Church" and "Demons".

Yep, that was one of the two scenes I remember...the other was the scene where the dad killed the kid with a drill thingy. The rest of the movie was shit, just boring stuff.

I don't think Fulci is overrated, most people only recognize him for his gore and make up, which is all he did particularly well for his time, really.

Original Dawn Of The Dead for sure 😉

C-Dic, gotta agree AND disagree with ya man, on a couple of points...First I gotta disagree with ya about "Day of the Dead"...I know it gets looked down on by fans and critics, but I thought the scoring, dialogue, and acting were quite good...and believe me, I've seen A LOT of crappy acting and dialogue in horror. I also thought the characters were very likable especially Sarah, John, and "Bub"....I mean, I found myself actually concerned with what happened to these characters in the movie...
But, I do agree with you about "City of the Living Dead" A.K.A. "The Gates of Hell"....I saw it years ago, and I found myself bored with it also. I thought it was at best an average zombie flick. I too feel that Lucio Fulci and his films are overrated. I find that most of his movies have little to no plot, bad acting, bad sound, and are boring...espcially "The House by the Cemetary". The only film I really care to own of his is "Zombie". I have tried to get into his movies and like them, but no matter how hard I try, I just can't...they just don't do a whole lot for me personally. Lots of blood and gore just aren't as important to me as much as a good plot and good acting; and I feel that that is all his movies really have to offer for the most part.

Night of the Living Dead (original)

Cinnastix,

I have to agree with comickid entirely. I found (Day of the Dead) acting and dialog extremely arousing, pilato was outstanding. I mean we are talking within the realm of zombie movies here. I also do not know what it is .. but the movie seems to get better and better every time i watch it..

I did really enjoy Shaun. It is a worthy candidate. But I would have to side with a traditional horror zombie film vs a comedic one.
