Ultimate movie contender list. Please help

Micky Dolenz

Recommend some movies suggestions for the next tournament please

ChaseThisLight

Are we limited to zombie movies? Or are you looking for a wider array of movies?

Micky Dolenz

I think either zombie, infected or virus related aplocalaptic movies would fit with the sprit of the forum. Nuclear or alien movies would be out.

Open to suggestions though.

Peetrik

Could include shows instead of just movies, would broaden your scope a bit

ChaseThisLight

Okay.

So...off the top of my head...

Carriers
Contagion
Outbreak
The Dead
The Road
The Stand

Kash

Not sure if you'll accept trilogies:

28 Days/Weeks Later
The Evil Dead
Resident Evil

Night of the living dead
Shaun of the Dead
Dawn of the dead (original and remake?)
La Horde
I am legend
From Dusk til Dawn

Quarantine - not really zombie, but definitely infection.

For shows, hmm - The Walking Dead and Dead Set are all that come to mind. I'm probably missing out on a lot of zombie shows.

ChaseThisLight

The Crazies
Pontypool
Night of the Comet (Micky, you said no aliens, and this is caused by a comet...does it count?)
Survivors (TV show)

And I had a look at my blockbuster queue and while I've not seen any of these yet, they fit the bill:

Ever Since The World Ended
Zombie Apocalypse
The Dead Outside
Extinction: The G.M.O. Chronicles
Autumn
Devil's Playground

I think this is a good point though, people might not have seen the movies (or it will be so long ago it's a blur) so can we get a bit longer between votes?

degrassinoel

Lets see what's not been mentioned...i'm gonna chuck in some post apoc stuff too

Zombieland
Mad Max 2 & 3
The Thing (1982)
Doomsday
The Postman
Land of the Dead
Escape from New York (canibalism = zombies?)
Mutant Chronicles
Reign of fire
Red Dawn (best film EVAR!)

RiderOnTheStorm

Omega Man
Black Sheep
Blade (vampires not zombies, but a strong element of virus infection)

DakotaYoda

Late to the party but:

Book of Eli
Children of Men
Planet Terror
Running Man
V for Vendetta
Planet of the Apes
Waterworld
The Quiet Earth

Lined out ones are dystopian/post-apoca but don't have a virus or zombies.

ASOT

Rammbock: Berlin Undead

DakotaYoda

So is the plan to pit them head-to-head to determine what the best movie is or are we planning to take characters from each movie or what?

Tzar Chasm

Pontypool
La horde
Colin

would Lesbian Vampire killers fall into the category

I dunno about Reign of Fire, its kinda post apocalyptic, but it has Dragons

Simple is better I think. What movie did you enjoy the most. 1 v 1 until there is only 1 left.

We'd have to pick movies most have seen. If the list of contenders is up and then picked random match ups, it will give people a chance to check some out. It'll be fun and educational

ladypip

The Thats zombietainment thread would have the best list of movies that we have all seen wouldn't it?

ladypip

ohhhh just had a thought, would anyone else be interested in a weekly movie? We could take turns to suggest a movie on a set night and we could all try watch it in the same week and discuss it? Shall I start a new thread for this?

RiderOnTheStorm

the more i read here, the more films i remember that i havnt seen in a while !

might spend a few hours in front of the tube this bank holiday weekend

(note: for all the kids out there - 'tube' is old slang for the tv!)

my addition to the list is

30 Days of Night

A weekly movie could sure be manageable. We're tried to figure out a way to all watch the same movie at the same time but that's just impractical due to time zones. etc. I post a full month's worth of movies, with one each night, during October/Halloween... but I'd sure be open to a Move of the Week idea.

Rules sound good MD. Nice and simple. Movie vs movie.

Just seen that Outbreak http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114069/

is on tv tonight (on Watch if you have it) at 10pm

Might be worth sticking that on the list too. Some interesting views on how containment is handled and mishandled with contagions

Outbreak was in the first list I suggested. Good movie. That and Contagion really show you how fast an outbreak can spread and how. Kinda scary.

Kash

That was the first movies I saw that showed infection spreading and I have had a soft spot for them ever since. Would love to rematch it, but can't find it on Watch!

degrassinoel

could've been a misprint in the guide i was reading then, i didnt actually get to see it afterall last night either

Kash

Must have been - ah well, I didn't lose any sleep over it in any case
