Best Zombie Flicks?

...aquatic Nazi-zombies...

Also in that category, don't overlook Shock Waves with Peter Cushing.

• Night of the Living Dead (Original, not the remake or colourised one).
• Tombs of the Blind Dead.
• Return of the Living Dead.
• Reanimator.
• Braindead (Dead Alive for you USAians).
• 28 Days Later.
• Shaun of the Dead.

Honourable mentions:

• Chinese Ghost Story (zombies aren't in it for long, but are in a few good scenes)
• Spaced season 1 episode 3 "Art" (the inspiration for Shaun of the Dead)

No, there's at least one, a French film, from around 1918-20 that featured actual maimed WW1 veterans as zombies rising to protest to the governments of the world to stop all wars (can't recall the name, right now.)

Sounds like J'Accuse from 1934. There was another film of the same name (and same theme and director) from 1919.

Not really "zombies" per se, but zombiesque...

Black Sheep... Take one part zombie/virus, take one part vorpal white bunny, mix with a herd of sheep. Blend nicely and set to chill and what you have will be some gruesome sheep attacks. Its a bit cheesy but that's what makes it a necessity to any zombie list.

The '34 version was a remake. They did those even this early...

  Which makes me think of Brain Dead , which is sort of about an undead... kinda...sorta...maybe

Night of the Creeps. Alien slugs land on earth and reanimate corpses. Comedy insues.
(Not to be confused with Slither. Alien slugs land on earth and animate people. Comedy insues.)


And don't forget Romero's segment of Creepshow. Two lovers, played by Ted Dansen and Gaylen Ross (Francine from Dawn of the Dead '78), come back from the dead after being killed by the woman's jealous husband.

They were really revenants, not zombies. Though frankly, I thought Leslie Neilson should have gotten away with it. There's just something very appealing about torturing Ted Danson....
