Favorite Zombie Movies?

[HookerZombie]

Since the Resident Evil games are mostly about zombies, what are some of your favorite movies about zombies? Here is my list:

Night of the Living Dead: Both the original classic from 1968 and the remake from 1990. A scary film and the grandmother of all modern zombie movies about a group of complete strangers seeking shelter in an American farm house during a zombie apocalypse.

Day of the Dead: The original from 1985. A very dark and gritty zombie movie about a group of American soldiers and scientists seeking shelter in an underground missle silo in Florida and trying desperately to find a solution for the zombie apocalypse that has destroyed the world above, all while tensions start to build among the survivors as they come to realize that they may very well be the last humans left alive.

Zombie aka Zombi 2: An Italian zombie movie from 1979 about a group of people arriving on an island in the Caribbean that is home to a voodoo curse that brings the dead back to life. A doctor on the island tries hopelessly to figure out what is causing the phenomenon and to cure the infected islanders but the situation grows increasingly out of control.

Hell of the Living Dead: One of the worst zombie movies ever made (but in a great way!) from 1980 made in Italy. It rips off movies like Dawn of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Zombie, The Gates of Hell, and Contamination. The movie is about a chemical plant that accidentally releases a zombie virus in the island of New Guniea that turns the natives into flesh-eating zombies while a group of SWAT team members and a beautiful female reporter and her cameraman boyfriend arrive at the hellish island to investigate.


I know these movies are kind of old but frankly I don't like the newer zombie movies that much. Anyways that's my list.

I'm not a zombie fan. I actually got pretty burned out on the topic in films because, as it is, I don't like zombie movies but all my friends do. I never hated them but now...

Still, I do like a few.
Shaun of the Dead.

Night of the Living Dead (Original and 1990 Remake)
Versus
Rec

Here's a few you might've not heard of. Dog House is a comedy about a bunch friends out for a boys weekend to a town whose population has been eaten by the women... the undead women. American Zombie is a mockumentary about a world where zombies are fighting for their rights but the team filming a few zombies start to see strange things, behaviour, patterns that they find unsettling.

And while not exactly a film I must say that the music video my Michael Jackson named "Thriller" is what originally got me into the zombie culture as a whole.

 

[HookerZombie]

Yeah Thriller is awesome and I personally thought that the first Resident Evil movie was good but the rest sucked.

Well I like anything with zombies in it :twisted:

I especially like the zom coms - Zombieland, Shaun of the Dead, Warm Bodies etc.

Meh, I'm not into these zombie comedies that seem to be so popular lately. I like zombies better when they are in an actual horror setting. But that's just me.
