Mine is either 28 Days Later or Train to Busan
I want to do a marathon tomorrow evening. Please give me some more suggestions!
Shaun of the Dead. The kickoff of the Corenetto trilogy has layers that reward repeated viewings.

Love when they start throwing the records at the Zombies. My favorite scene.
~~Go to the Winchester~~, have a nice cold pint, and wait for this all to blow over was my ‘Rona strategy
Shaun of the Dead, easily. This is one of my annual re-watch films.
Totally
28 Days Later. It was unlike any other movie like it when I randomly came across it on tv
It still is. Nothing hits like London depopulated and one dude wtf-ing for 10 minutes.
I watched it in theater on its first week!
It was glorious. Still my favorite, hands down.
The eeriness of the deserted streets of London makes for one of the best opening scenes ever!
Definitely. It also may have been my first real exposure to Cillian Murphy. Became one of my favorite actors.
Army of Darkness
Incidentally also my favorite skeleton movie.
Dang, a classic I haven’t seen yet. For sure going in the list.
And this is my... BOOMSTICK!
Arguable if it's a zombie movie or a virus movie, but The Crazies (2010) was excellent.
I have a soft spot for the original Romero trilogy, and I dig the 1990 remake of Night of the Living Dead and the 2004 Dawn of the Dead.
Zombieland
It's my favorite too. One of the first zombie movies I remember going to see in theaters. The crowd was great and laughing a lot. The opening alone was awesome.
Return of the Living Dead
Shawn of the Dead. A romantic comedy using the context of a horror file. It is brilliant.
Unironically the first resident evil live action movie. I say this as someone who watched all the classics.
I'm not sorry.
I will personally endorse Resident Evil.
Pontypool was so good. It's about a radio station during the zombie apocalypse. So they're torn between reporting and staying safe.
Dead Alive/Braindead from Oscar winner Peter Jackson
That movie is insanely and hilariously gory. It is so gloriously over the top gross but also funny as hell.
World War Z!
Completely unrealistic but the way zombie hordes are shown stampeding is amazing.
shame it diverged soo hard from the book
I only saw the movie so i never knew what i was missing lol
Oh boy, definitely read the book. It's one of the most well thought out and realistic pieces of zombie fiction I've ever experienced. The only other one that I'd put on the same level is This Book is Full of Spiders (seriously dude, don't touch it) by David Wong, which is the sequel to John Dies at the End.
I'm with you. It's a zombie detective. Awesome!
That pile up against the wall in Israel - yikes!
Not a movie but I was a big fan of All of us are Dead on Netflix (except the last 10 minutes)
Train to Busan, I cried.
I don't remember much from that movie besides loving it.
Oh don't get me wrong, I loved it but dammit it tugged at heart
I have a soft spot for Juan of the Dead. It sounds like a cheap knock off/parody (it kinda is) but it also has a lot of heart in it.
Dawn of the dead 2004 is my absolute favorite, has immense repeat value for me.
A close second would be french movie The Horde (2009). It has one of my favorite zombie moment in a movie where one of the protagonist fights till his death chopping / killing zombies on top of a car.
I love so many zombie movies but my favorite will always be the one that popped my zombie cherry. Dawn of the dead 1978.
I still like I am Ledgend
Poultrygeist
Kind of a cheating answer but One Cut of the Dead. It's more a movie about making zombie movie, but the movie they're making is a single take short movie.
Really fun stuff.
One I don't see get mentioned often is #alive! Really enjoyable with classic zombie premise in a city setting. Went in blind on the recommendation of a coworker and had a great time
I'm a big fan of Zombie from 1979
I remember seeing a VHS of this for rent back when they were still a thing lol. I’ll have to track down a copy!
If you can get it with the deleted scenes, Zombie Strippers. That movie is a lot better than it has rights to.
Ooh, I’ve never scene this. Going on the list!
Let me know what you think!
It's a 70s malaise slow burn, so be prepared for that kind of energy when you fire it up 🤗
