I am shooting for 10.
1. Night of the Living Dead (Romero) 2. Dawn of the Dead (remake, I know, I know, but saw it on the big screen and loved it) 3. Dawn of the Dead (Romero) 4. Zombieland 5. Day of the Dead (Romero) 6. Fido (a romzomcom) 7. Evil Dead 2 8. 28 Days Later (I'm counting them as zombies) 9. Dance of the Dead (a romzomcom) 10. Return of the Living Dead 11. Zombi 2 aka Zombie (Fulci) 12. Dead Alive (Peter Jackson) 13. Tokyo Zombie (zany fun from the land of the rising sun) 14. 28 Weeks Later (still counting them) 15. The Last Man on Earth (the original with Vincent Price, and yes, I'm counting them-influence on Romero himself) 16. Evil Dead 17. Zombies of Mass Destruction (a zomromcom with social commentary on accepting gays and George W.'s two wars) 18. Land of the Dead 19. Army of Darkness 20. Mortuary (Tobe Hooper)
I hated The Zombie Journals, Diary of the Dead, and Survival of the Dead (which I watched the premier of at Fantastic Fest with George Romero doing a Q&A, only saving grace of the night)

The last man on Earth, with Vincent Price, didn't have Zombies in it. If I recall correctly they were Vampires. I'll avoid the whole Zombies vs. Rage debate... for now.

Jamiemark, yes.
I bought it, watched it once and hated it. Some kind of emo-electric score, I think, throughout. And the priest who was added in with the hip 1990s mustache, was CRAP. That "actor" wrote the score. Whatever.
The silence of the original made it feel like, I dunno, almost a documentary. It put you more in the movie, and made the scarce use of music more jarring. It put you more on edge.
I sold the anniversary edition for two dollars, happily.
Sacriligous shiite.

You are right on both counts, Wulf. I'm still counting them as zombies! Yep vampire plaque survivors, just like in Romero's The Crazies minus vampirism, or just a virus infecting the majority of mankind ith Rage. I know they are not zombies, but Romero borrowed from The Last Man on Earth in his scene where the infected are banging at the outside of VP's house with clubs and rocks. Other scenes also reminded me of NOTLD. "Night" was about an infection devastating humanity and turning humans into the infected carriers/monsters. All those movies do that. So I agree with you, but I feel equally about both sides of the argument. We wouldn't really end up arguing. I would pretty much say, yep, I see your point.

zombies can't be neatly categorized wulf if i might get in on this . in one of my picks i drink your blood the people aren't even dead . they just suffer rabies from traditional voo-doo zombies to the fast movie 28 days later zombies their are more different kindss of zombies then you can shake a stick at . what are doing shaking a stick at zombies ; if you zombies run. p.s i forgot about cemetary man. lots of people don't like but it's one of my favs

Don't shake sticks at zombies LS.
Shoot them in the head with a .22 (and I love my .357 magnum, but it's a waste of good ammo) or liberate their head from their bodies with a machete, kukri, ax, or katana.
Then you can put the zombie head in an aquarium full of rubbing alcohol, and you have your own WYH version of Max Headroom. Damn, how much am I dating myself? Shit. Just call it a WYH teevee.

don't worry about it max headroom was c-c-cool , most likely the last corperate pitchman that didn't make me weep for humanity; still no ''where's the beef lady though commercials make me die a little inside now. i haven't seen one that would sell me on anything in years

I actually loathed Max Headroom. I was reading Doonesbury (political junkie here) as a little kid. Gary Trudeau introduced us to Ron Headstead, Ronald Reagan's cooler other.
Can you believe that I have read every Doonesbury from his Harvard student newspaper days to 1992?
