Micky Dolenz

I have decided it is nigh time I prepare myself for the inevitable Zombie rising so I picked up a few traing DVDs. Can ye please help me sort in which order I should watch these 5 movies.

1 Zombie diaries
2 Dawn of the dead (2004)
3 Zombies wicked little things
4 Land of the dead (2005)
5 Diary of the dead (2007)

What other movies are a must have to survive the uprising?

In my opinion diary of the dead should be removed from the list because I will be honest I thought it was a terrible movie. However if you believe it is a must then I reckon this order will be good
1 Dawn of the dead (2004)
2 Land of the dead (2005)
3 Diary of the dead (2007)
4 Zombies wicked little things
5 Zombie diaries

Thanks Evolute, You were right on diary of the dead, it's a bit weak alright.

Watched Land of the dead also, quite liked it but the felt it missed an edge.

I didn't see much wrong with it, other than the excessive navel gazing. It certainly was an education in the shit-kickinest way to use a scythe! That old Amish fella is my hero.

No offense man but I think that movie is piss poor.
Now I realize that it was supposed to be like the cameraman had nerve damage in his hand or something but instead of it enhancing the movie it made the movie annoying to watch and I actually found it hard to watch the whole movie.
Don't get me wrong I love a good zombie movie and Diary of the Dead was not one of them.

That dude made the movie . watched Dawn of the Dead, It was very good, now all I have left is Zombie wicked little things and Zombie diaries.

I will be keeping an open mind watch both these as I suspect they may be poor:(

Shaun of the Dead. It contains valuable information about how to defend yourself from within a pub...and where else would the Irish go in a time of a crisis?

Dead Set is a good guide on what not to do in the event of the Zompocalypse

Exactly..don't sh!t in the water cooler. 28 days later is a decent one if we're unlucky enough to get sprinters.

Hande hoche!

Not a bad list but where are the earlier Romero flicks?

There all the ones I could find at my local shopping centre .

Watched Zombies, wicked little things. Zombie kids don't do it for me. The whole movie I was thinking why not just bash their heads in and be done with it.:cool:

dara95

the only movie you need is shaun of the dead!!

classic

Fallen Buckshot

Army of Darkness
+1 for Shaun of the dead
and an oldie but good Braindead

Valmont

First things first, get yourself a copy of the original Dawn of the Dead. Once you've seen that you'll have a whole new standard for zombie flicks.

Couple of points, Dawn of the Dead (2004) is useless as zombies don't sprint. And regarding the Land of the Dead, it's also useless as zombies don't have a leader that knows how to use assault rifles. The Dawn of the Dead remake was an enjoyable movie but I wouldn't rank it with the zombie genre so much. Romero has completely lost the plot during the last decade anyway.

I find the original black and white and excellent remake of Night of the Living Dead are excellent training resources.

Have addded to the collection.

Day of the Dead (the newer one)

Night of the living Dead, the original, to get back to my zombie roots and the fact ye all recommended it

Neither Pet Sematary movies are about zombies. Reanimation yes, but not zombies.

TerrorFirmer

Isn't it called Zombies in Europe and just Wicked Little Things here? An OK movie.

Can't believe no-one's mentioned Re-Animator - a total classic.

Micky Dolenz

Watched Night of the living dead, last night. What a classic.

Although throughout the whole movie I was thinking

WHY DON'T YE JUST WALK OUTTA THERE YE CRAZY PEOPLE?

Anyone see Planet Terror? is it worth adding to the collection?

Drunkmonkey79

Yeah, its worth a look. Its complete nonsense but good fun.
