I have just finished watching Fido, a made in Canada zombie movie staring Billy Connolly and Carrie-Anne Moss, and actually liked it, has anyone seen it and what other zombie movies do you like?

Ugh, I HATE Zombies. Not the actualy zombies but the whole damn concept/myth.

Resident Evil series is excellent! I also really like Reanimator, Dr Herbert West is really cool in a slightly misguided, obsessed way.

28 Days Later.
Resident Evil.
I Am Legend. (Well, they weren't exactly zombies, probably more like mutants...but close enough. :wink: )

Who cares what's physically impossible? It's a goddamn movie, it's not real. I, for one, am often bored by films that stick to what is physically possible.

Return Of The Living Dead. It's worth it for the 80's punk soundtrack alone, with tracks by The Cramps, 45 Grave, The Jet Black Berries, and The Flesheaters.

you forgot to mention "Brains"

I just saw I Am Legend a few days ago. That's a pretty well made movie but it doesn't displace the Resident Evil or Reanimator movies for me. But I will buy the DVD. Spudnik, I'll keep that movie Fido in mind, sometimes you can find a real gem in a lesser known movie.

I HATED I Am Legend. It was a big budget CGI version of 28 days later...except...NOT scary.

I would say both versions of Dawn of the Dead. I would also go with the first Resident Evil. I loved the sequels, but first one was the scariest.

And I agree with the dude who said that 28 Days/Weeks Later were NOT zombie movies. He's right. The virus in those movies is a virus called RAGE, which is a form of ebola laced with a sort of inhibitor that blocks out receptors that help other human emotions, turning people into total animals.

28 Days Later walks away with it for me.
Romero would be proud of Danny Boyle.

Also, Resident Evil 1 and 2 (the films) are absoloutely dire. They're a disgrace to the games, zombie films, and cinema as a whole.
Resident Evil 3: Extinction wasn't as terrible as it could have been. Not the worst way to waste 90 minutes, but I can think of many a film I'd rather watch instead.
It's a shame Paul W.S Anderson got to the franchise before someone who could have done it some justice.
If people think the format of the older Resi games wouldn't have made for a TERRIFYING film, they're mistaken.
Sure, the older games are slow, and people like to use that as an argument as to why the games wouldn't make good films in that sorta.. Slow moving format.
The Shawshank Redemption is a fairly long film. It's quite slow moving. IS IT S***? No.
Heat, about 3 hours, fairly slow moving for the first half. S*** film? No. Man on Fire, first hour of that, guess what, slow. S***? No.
You get my point.
Of course a slow Resi film could be terrible in the wrong hands, but look at the quality of the fast Resident Evil films that got released.

While zombies are dead and the virus victims of 28 Days/Weeks Later were not, the films still play like zombie movies in virtually every respect. It just changes the rules a bit so as to fit its own storyline. In my view, they're basically zombie movies that have monsters that aren't zombies. XD

Agreed. I loath the Resident Evil films--I don't find them scary or cool at all, with cheesy visuals, crappy special effects, laughable acting, a terrible script, and lackluster direction. There was one line in particular where a guy was like, "The security system is locking me out. She's making it difficult," that was said in such a bad way that I laughed my ass off. The only enjoyment I got out of that film was laughing at how bad it was. But that's what you get from Paul W.S. Anderson....

Another vote for Shaun of the Dead...

And Mad Props to Army of Darkness. Ash is THE MAN.

For that matter, the Silent Hill movie... while not exactly zombie... was pretty well-done. I'd rather play the games though (something I'll never be able to).

Besides... that is speciesist. No actual animal behaves like that, a***hole.

As for "I Am Legend" .... as someone who read the book first, I can safely say it is was the WORST book-to-film adaptation EVER.
I even went so far as to write a whole thread about it listing most of the major issues I had with it.

I loved the original Dawn of the Dead and of course the Evil Dead Trilogy.
I must say though, my favorite zombie film is braindead (or dead alive).
