2. You've got red on you.
When the Queen song starts up -- that's the point at which I completely lose it.

11. I love that part too.
I crack up every time. It's a romance and a buddy flick w/ zombies thrown in for fun.

4. I love that film!

I love that part when Shaun is hungover and goes to the corner shop. He is oblivious to the zombies around and the mayhem. He goes passed the homeless guy who is now a zombie thinking he wants more change. It's a classic!

12. I love the part where they are leaving the Winchester
the night before and they already see zombies out and about but don't realize it. The part where they are in the street singing and letting the zombie(who they think is a drunk) answer w/ "Ahhhhhh" is a scream!

5. It's a rom-zom-com (romantic zombie comedy).

16. And we tend to agree on horror.
Best horror flick released in years. It's got it all-comedy, romance, drama, friendship and some kick ass zombies thrown in for good measure.

18. I love that movie.
And I love hearing fuck-a-doodle-do said in Brit films. I started saying it after I heard it once years ago.

People who hate horror would probably like this movie.

25. If "Snakes on Planes" is going to make it...
It'll have to include Bacon and Zombies.

It's a must.

Darn it.

28. Now you're thinking!
Slithering around in a never ending quest for Bacon... (or Brains)

Haven't worked that part out yet.

27. i usually don't like movies with any kind of "gore"
but this one is so witty and such a riot. :thumbsup:

It's as if Mike Leigh made a horror film. Stellar.

34. I don't know about best
but it's in the top 20. Still gotta go old-school w/ something like a Night of the Living Dead, Carnival of Souls or even throw Suspiria on the list. (Yes, I used to do a lot of drugs).
I would also have to throw Alien on the list, along w/ Re-Animator, Rosemary's Baby, Nosferatu, Exorcist and a few others.
But it's very high on my list.
