Zombies!!

Post by RangerX »

Flesh Thorn's post got me thinking.

I love zombie movies. Pretty much the only "horror" flicks I watch. Mainly because they tend to be hilarious. A few of my favorites, looking for recommendations.
  • Army of Darkness
  • Shaun of the Dead
  • 28 Days Later
  • Zombieland
C Co 3/75 88-90 (Just Cause)
124 MI(LRSD) 90-91 (Desert Storm)

Repeal the 16th, enforce the 10th.

I like the Resident Evil movies. I hope the fourth doesn't suck.

The Resident Evil movies are something I'd watch with no other alternative, but there's so much in them that is ripped off of other, better zombie movies that I'd rather just watch the originals.

Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" pretty much founded the genre, and it's still as good (IMO) as it was back in 1968. Considering it had (at the time) a no-name director, unknown actors, and a budget that wouldn't pay for a good used car, that alone makes it worthy of mention.
Lugosi's "White Zombie" is also worth a look. It's dated, but still interesting.
Romero is a fucking genius.

Hell yeah! Great song, I listen to it all the time. Johnny Cash is the man!

I do enjoy the part where the gun shop owner is blasting zombies in the crowd that look like celebrities.
and don't forget the 5 gallon propane cans that go off like a 500lb bomb.
WHEN IN DOUBT, SHOOT IT OUT!

I shot a propane tank with 12 ga OO buck just like in the movie and all it did was dent it a little. So much for outdoing my neighbor's Independence Day fireworks......

Have any of you played the Left 4 Dead games? I've only played the 2nd one but is a great zombie apocalypse simulator. The Evil Deads and Army of Darkness or some of my favorite movies. Bruce Campbell gets some of the greatest lines in movie history.

"Sure I could have stayed in the past, I could have even been king. But in my own way I am king. Hail to the king baby."

He is great on "Burn Notice" too.

Tell the truth about what you see and what you do. There is an army depending on us for correct information. You can lie all you please when you tell other folks about the Rangers, but don't ever lie to a Ranger or an officer.--Maj. Robert Rogers

That I have, I love it when the kids are riding in the car talking about his movies. The one kid says he liked "Bubba Ho-Tep" and the other kid is like fucking everyone liked "Bubba Ho-Tep". But it was a great movie, Ozzie Smith as JFK fucking priceless.
