Day of the Dead. For some reason, when I saw this as a kid, I totally underappreciated it. I remembered the endearing zombie "Bub", but not too much else. I was hard to impress as a kid, I guess. Yet, I did like "The Evil Dead", which I think is pretty ridiculous now.
Both "Dawns" are great.
My friend brought me "Dead and Breakfast"--which was about the dumbest movie I ever seen.
I would call "Shaun" a British comedy rather than a horror film and "Land of the Dead" a gigantic disappointment.
"Dawn of the Dead". Even though the formula has been done so many times already, somehow this movie still made it fresh. I liked how it put so much emphasis on the main characters at the mall. Really good acting too. And it was the little moments that worked, like the sniping of the celebrity-looking zombies, or the touching scenes between that guy and his new baby, albeit a zombie-one. And seeing zombies being able to run fast for the first time (at least the first movie I've seen this happen) makes them so much more threatening. And the ending, where the hero has to do what he has to do with his gun, was very sad and tragic. Plus Sarah Polley is a total babe, IMO.

this was a remake, obviously its been done before.
im happy to be stuck in the 70's and 80's. you know why? because thats where all the best horror films are at. No one can argue that.
im allowed to voice my opinion. its called a discussion forum. all sorts of opinions are welcome. and my opinion is that the remake of dawn of the dead is not the best zombie movie ever. who actually voted for that by the way?
im not pissing on the film, i actually do like it.
