Zombie Films: Which Are Your 10 Favorite? (New Voting Poll)

[Torgo]

Anyone else ever seen Zombie Lake?

It's been a while since I've seen it, but if I remember correctly, it involves naked cheerleaders getting taken apart by underwater Nazi zombies.

[Scott]

I don't think that is ZOMBIE LAKE nor SHOCK WAVES because it's set in France during WWII, but maybe the one your thinking about isn't a zombie film. Maybe it's SURF NAZI'S MUST DIE or something else. I haven't seen Troma's SURF NAZI'S MUST DIE, but I can image cheerleaders being in that title.

Which reminds me that I never put up SHOCK WAVES. It's up now................

[Allhallowsday]

I have to admit that I agree with ASH about "laundry lists."  I become numb. 

I don't see MESSIAH OF EVIL (aka DEAD PEOPLE) on the list, a film not well liked on this site (perhaps nowhere) but it nonetheless has people dying and becoming flesh-eating ghouls which I think qualifies as Zombies. 

I found TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD to be dumb and paid dearly for expressing just such an opinion elsewhere. 

Being a newbie, I just read this old thread but had also missed GATES OF HELL (PAURA NELLA CITTA DEI MORTI VIVENTI) on the list.  Bela, I think it remains overlooked.

Sadly, yes.

It's been a while since I've seen it, but if I remember correctly, it involves naked cheerleaders getting taken apart by underwater Nazi zombies.

A group of young ladies on some sort of sports team decide to strip and go swimming and then get pulled under water. It's about as terrifying as spilled milk and as titillating as a kick to the nads.

That's why I use Tide after viewing Zombie films from this list. Actually it best used as your personal zombie checklist.



Zombies use Tide also.

I put it on the list Allhallowsday. Saw this once and it was difficult viewing, but yes I was able to finish it. It does qualify as a Zombie film. 

I found TOMBS OF THE BLIND DEAD to be dumb and paid dearly for expressing just such an opinion elsewhere. 

Yep, that's right Allhallowsday you shouldn't say bad things about those Templars. THE BLIND DEAD is one of my favorite Zombie films along with RETURN OF THE  BLIND DEAD.

Listed it as CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD. Thanks Allhallowsday.

By the way I reset the voting, so everyone can now vote for your favorite top 10 Zombie films.

[Evan]

out of the ten I voted, Ill point out 2. Zeder and Zombie Lake. Zeder because it has a great theme by Riz Ortolani and is very creepy. I voted Zombie Lake because it is insanely bad but I love the look of the zombies. There are better zombie movies, but these are two of the ones I picked.

[Scott]

I've never seen ZEDER, but I'll put it on my personal zombie list. As for ZOMBIE LAKE your in good company here as we all like ZOMBIE LAKE including Menard, Andrew, Myself, and many others. Don't  forget to check out OASIS OF ZOMBIES. Another favorite.   

[Allhallowsday]

Zombies use Tide also.

I put it on the list Allhallowsday. Saw this once and it was difficult viewing, but yes I was able to finish it. It does qualify as a Zombie film.   

Thanks!  Yeh, btw, that was me voting for that dopey mess of a movie; I really like those paintings. 

Yep, that's right Allhallowsday you shouldn't say bad things about those Templars. THE BLIND DEAD is one of my favorite Zombie films along with RETURN OF THE  BLIND DEAD. 

No; disagreements about movies are what create the most stimulating dialogue, yet I respect any and all opinions.  I don't, however, like when I am not respected for mine.  Of course, hopefully now I'm a bit wiser.  I do have a friend who is swift to point out that opinions are like . . . hmm ...everyone's got one and they all stink . . .

[DodgingGrunge]

Believe it or not I've watched 55 out of the 65 above titles. These are my 10 favorites.

Which 10 haven't you seen?  Haha.

I have always been a huge fan of zombie movies, but I find it so hard to compare something like Zombi with Wild Zero with Dawn of the Dead.

And the humorous ones have an unfair advantage when it comes to re-watchability, or group viewings!

And C.H.U.D., my favorite bad movie of all time, is not something I've ever thought of as a zombie picture.  They are simply radioactive homeless people.  Albeit they are about as articulate as zombies...

Oh, and you could add Dead Pit to the list.  It's a great little romp about an evil doctor who is killed and buried with his experiments (in an abandoned wing of a mental hospital), only to be reawakened by an earth quake.  Jane Doe, a patient with amnesia, sees him in her dreams and subsequently runs around in her underwear for most of the movie.  And like Frankenhooker, the VHS case had a noise-box sewn in.  And better still, the ghoul's eyes blinked red!  Talk about high tech!

[RCMerchant]

Hahaha! Seems like I'm the only voter for BURIAL GROUND. How can you NOT love this crazy movie? And it's got everybodys  favorite Mommy molester...Micheal(Peter Berg)!

One of the most to- the- chase trailers Iv'e ever seen...no talk..no hype...the gore speaks for itself!

[youtube=425,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27nt1xdtUU4 ...love the music too!Sounds like a UFO is jamming tunes!

[Scott]

RCMerchant, I've seen the trailer to BURIAL GROUND before and it looks like great Zombie material. I'll have to get Netfix again soon to view it.

DodgingGrunge, I put DEAD PIT up for you.

Thanks!

You really need to see it.  As a movie, Burial Ground is just so-so.  It's typical Italian silliness with horrendous English dubbing and nonsensical plotlines.  But man-oh-man this has one of the greatest zombie scenes of all time!  My mammaries hurt just thinking about it.


And RC, that trailer reminds me of the German version of Romero's Dawn of the Dead.  I looked all over YouTube and couldn't find it.  But I did find this Japanese version which is similar, though a bit more rockin':  http://youtube.com/watch?v=YhG1y3lQQEo

[KYGOTC]

Any one ever seen Troma's "Wiseguys vs. Zombies"? Heehee!

[Scott]

My mammaries hurt just thinking about it.

Wow, now I know this is going to be a good one.
