So what did you think of this Brit zombie flick?

I gave it a 9.

Hilarious movie, very well made.

It's a perrrfect ten.

As in the good old SNL sketch 'The Amazing Alexander':
"It was much better than Cats. I'm going to see it again and again."

A nine. Just because I never give a ten.

What an awesome movie! Holy crap. I mean, that rocked hard on toast. Sheer, sheer brilliance, I don't even know where to start. The great writing, the performances, the unobtrusive camera work, all of it was great, just great.

Honestly, that was a perfect movie. Maybe the best film of the year. Certainly right up there with Kill Bill.

The world has sure changed a lot since 1978, hasn't it? I'm too excited to really comment coherently on this baby, but I am wearing my "Aim For The Head" lapel pin that the theatres were giving away.

Did anyone else stay to the end of the credits? Hear the old Dawn of the Dead closing music? Nice touch, thought I.

Ditto. "There Is Only One Perfect Film". But that is definitely the most clever horror film I've ever seen.

9

I really enjoyed it. I was impressed by how it managed to stay funny throughout the whole movie, while actually actually advancing a serious storyline. Even missing most of the in jokes (due to being American), I still thought it was a great movie.

"There Is Only One Perfect Film".

OK, I'll bite. At the risk of hijacking the thread, what is this movie?

As for Shaun of the Dead, I must say I enjoyed it muchly. I thought Simon Pegg made a hysterical straight man, and even had some fine dramatic moments near the end of the movie. Gave it an '8'.

What, you never studied basic philosophy? Socrates, man, Socrates!

I gave it a 9. It was pretty great. I esp. liked the whole apocalypse taking place unnoticed in the background.
