Best Zombie Films?

Want to netflix some this month for Halloween. I am really starting to get into zombie flicks. I own Day Of The Dead, and DOTD (Original).

Evil Dead - both parts
Cabin Fever - sorta zombie-ish

great choices.

Let Sleeping Corpses Lie is probably my favorite zombie movie.
and The Beyond is probably my second.

I also recommend Dead Alive for the sheer fun of it all.

I wouldn't call 28 Days Later or the Evil Dead films zombie movies. In 28 Days, those are just people infected with the rage virus. In Evil Dead, they are possessed with demons.

There are people who'll dismiss it, just because it's not a great movie per se, but 'Day of the Dead' has the most realistic gore I've ever seen ... the ending of that movie is great, and it also has at least one of my favorite characters in the 'Dead' trilogy ...

Yes Day Of The Dead is VERY violent ThatGuamGuy. Look's pretty real to me, but who's to say I have seen that kind of thing in real life? (Maybe )

From the ones you guys have listed, I have seen the following..

Dawn Of The Dead (Remake)
Return Of The Living Dead


2 Quick question's,

1. What is the original Zombi movie called? Just Zombi? It can't be that, because I could not find it from Netflix.

2. All of the Zombi movie's are "Italian" zombie flicks right? Also, how many were there total?

1 More Question..

Are there two versions of Night Of The Living Dead (Colorized, and B & W)? If so, do the same things happen in each one?

if you mean the Fulci film, the most often used US title is "Zombie" and the most often used Italian title is "Zombi 2" ...because "Dawn of the Dead" was titled "Zombi" in Italy.... thus Fulci's first "Zombi" movie is called "Zombi 2"

so the dvd title depends on who is releasing it.

The original "Zombi" is titled, in the U.S. "Zombie 2". The Anchor Bay DVD will read "Zombie", where as the Blue Underground DVD, IIRC, is "Zombi 2". There are 4 "Zombi" films, 5 if you include Argento's cut of DOTD, which is "Zombi", but with no ties to Fulci's "Zombi 2".

NOTLD, the colorized FOX version is the same as the other cuts.

House of the Dead. It's hard not to become a fan of director Uwe Boll's work after watching this.

What do you mean? Uwe Boll is clearly a visionary director. He's just misunderstood. His 11,000 cuts in 13 minutes will one day be hailed as revolutionary.

I'm in the minority I believe, but I loved this wacky flick. It's a Czechoslovakian production with subtitles, it's a bit odd, but I really enjoyed it. As you can see, it's more of a spoof on zombie movies than anything else:

I didn't know John Lithgow was in a zombie movie.
