Dawn of the Dead is a deeper story and the better movie.

THE midnight movie fare in high school and early college days for myself and my buds. I think we went every Friday or Saturday night it was shown in the old "dollar cinemas". We went for the camp-factor and to anticipate the lines. Good fun all around :D

Dawn truly was the best.
I didn't care for the remake......except for the "capping celebrity look-a-likes" scene
got to admit that was pretty funny

5. I'm going to go with Day |
|
It did not reach the level of social commentary of either Night or Dawn but it burned with an intensity the others missed. The build up of tension is relentless and ,IMHO, the script is much tighter. The characters seem much more fleshed out with lots of shades of gray going on. It is not as clear as "zombies bad" "survivors good". It touched on it in Night and almost got there in Dawn but in Day, it is almost the only focus, you get to know each player up close and have a good feel for their motivations and how the isolation twists them. Plus, Joe Pilato gives one of the best performances ever in a zombie movie as Rhodes :D
