Poll question: What is the Best Zombie Movie Ever?
There's like 5 bajillion of them, so i expect to see a lot of "Other" votes.

i need to update my netflix too, so - 2 birds, one stone, and all that.

1. I had to choose "Dawn"
Sorry, but this one just hit it - I remember seeing this movie when I was like 12, and just having this dark, empty feeling all day - as if I were truly horrified.

5. That movie was pure genius in the way it was directed
And definitely NOT the Argento cut (I love Dario, but his version of that SUCKED)

The Romero cut

7. I'm going against my last vote, when this question was posed...
I vote for Resident Evil II, but Dawn of the Dead(04) was pretty good as well.

13. Land of the dead
It covers life after humans adjust to a world with zombies. Most zombie movies only cover the immediate attack.

15. Ugh... Land was an abortion.
That's the only movie in Romero's "Dead" series he never should have made.

14. Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead
OK, not really, but it had to get a mention :)
Humans... the other white meat... Unless you're black, then it's dark meat... Or if you are Asian, then it's yellow meat... Or if you are Native American, it's red meat...

23. 28 Days/Weeks Later, if you include Zombie-esqe movies
But if you are talking actual strictly undead zombies, then Shaun of the Dead.
