Best Zombie Movies?

[TheEvilDoctor]

But the thread starter never asked for horror movies. He asked for zombie movies.
Dead alive is just that; fun with zombies! It's not scary but it's full of gore and zombies and very funny, but it's absolutely no horrormovie. Yet it's a fun movie and worth checking (I was laughing the whole movie)

[Tony]

Easy answer.  "Dead Alive"  by Peter Jackson and Romero's "Night of the Living Dead."  These are flat out classic zombie movies.  By the way, don't do buisness with Movies Unlimited, or you will never see your movies.

the sequel of "the night of the living dead" its ok, i wont compare it with the original because i think they are different from each other so its not a bad film.
down of the death, i love this film,  and i would say that 28 days later its one of the best, but guess this is not a zombie movie, so lets pick "day of the dead".

[dirtcreature]

Could someone recommend a good zombie film to watch that I haven't seen already? Bear in mind I live in England so we've only just recently been allowed to buy I Spit On Your Grave.

Here's what I've already seen, or least remember viewing whilst sober...
The Dead trilogy (Night, Dawn, Day)
Return of the Living Dead parts 1,2 and 3
Children of the Living Dead
Zombie Flesh Eaters
Brain Dead (Dead Alive)

Also, a little off topic, could someone be kind enough, without giving too much away, to tell me a brief outline of what I Spit On Your Grave is about?

[maria paula]

do u want good stuff?wich its difficult  or do u like the bad films?? then i could give u some titles.

[maria paula]

Spit On Your Grave , the only thing i can say about this film its that i didnt liked it at all, i  can stand everything in films but rape.

[dirtcreature]

Good stuff, bad stuff, I don't mind. Someones bad stuff is anothers epic!

"could someone be kind enough, without giving too much away, to tell me a brief outline of what I Spit On Your Grave is about?"
.  .  .  .  Not to be annoying, but that is an impossible task.  The plot consists of two things and maria paula gave you one, rape.  You can figure it out from there, and since you know of the film you already know the plot, it is simple (I'm simplifying, but...).  A great review exists at Joe Bob's website, but it gives away plot.   Hope it helps, it would have been better to have someone else help you with this.
.  .  .  .  Zombie films:  go to zombiemart to get a thorough listing of the sub-genre.  Or else follow you fellow posters, let the board be your guide.  And a lot of people seem to agree on this, watch the Amando de Ossorio series (you may have already seen his worst) and Lucio Fulci films.

[maria paula]

i have seen all armando de ossorio works, and of course i have seen his worst because he never did something better, thats one of the best things that we have in spain, horror movies here are a real pain, but thats why im here, i love bad horror films :),
viva lucio fulci.

"...i have seen his worst... "
.  .  .  .  I was actually refering to dirtcreature's reference to Zombie Flesh Eaters, which is an approximate distribution title here in the US for three or so films.  It however usually means Buque maldito, El (cut and paste works niclely).  So I meant that I think, and others do too, that the third installment is his worst of the Knights Templar series.
.  .  .  .  It's gotta be nice to get the unedited versions of Jacinto Molina and Amando de Ossorio films.  In the US, they edit, heavily (not as heavily as others, we are actually lucky, comparatively, as far as I know), many films, and (one of) the only outlet(s) for uncut foriegn horror is through the links.  But they are only DVD-R's with a trailer on them as an extra feature.
.  .  .  .  I actually like the five (Malenka, too) de Ossorio films that I have seen, and really don't consider them particularly bad.

[i luv dolma]

My list: (in no particular order)

Night of the Living Dead
Dawn of the Dead (both versions)
Versus
Return of the Living Dead
Zombies' Lake....hey it was fun and packed with nudity and humor.


Haven't seen Dead Alive but want to really really bad.

[jmc]

Yeah, I ordered ZOMBIE LAKE from Deep Discount DVD a while back and it's supposed to be here any day now....I can't wait.  Such is the life of a bad movie junkie.  

LET SLEEPING CORPSES LIE is a pretty underrated one that I like an awful lot...I think it's at least as good as the Fulci films, if not better.

I agree that italian zombie movies are quite stupip like "city of the living dead" becouse the zombies in that simply vanish into thin air it suks.There are 2 itialian zombie films that i like they are "zombie flesh eaters 1+2) they are good they are scary and there is alot of blood and guts in them it is based on a island filled with voodo and a disease is spreading which is turning people into zombies but there is a doctor that is tryin to get rid of it.But he cant!!!! Another one that i like is "night of the livign dead" of course the original is better and scarier but i like the remake of it also simply because i find in that one the zombies are better and also the acting is a little better in it.The plot of that movie is they are stuck in a farm house with creeping zombies tryin to get in.My overall film has to be "day of te living dead" simply because it is scary and there is alot of blood i am a collector of zombie films myself there is still a few i havent got.
