I don't think I've seen enough of them to have the best opinion, but I really liked Zombieland.

Also, I liked 28 weeks later more than 28 days.

You can break it down into categories too.

Fast zombies: 28 Days Later, World War Z, Dawn of the Dead 2004, 28 Weeks Later.

Classic Zombies: Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, Dead Snow.

Funny Zombies: Shaun of the Dead, Return of the Living Dead, Cockneys vs Zombies.

Shakespeare Zombies: Warm Bodies.

While I like the original Dawn of the Dead, I always felt it was a bit overrated. Romero's zombie movies tend to come off a little too preachy for my taste.

And is 28 Days Later really a zombie movie?

My list:

1 - Dawn of the Dead (2004)

2 - Dead Snow

3 - ZombieLand

4 - Night of the Living Dead

5 - Shaun of the Dead

1. George Romero

I thought world war z was going to be good. Dud!

No, it's actually an "infected" movie. The people aren't dead.

Great topic...

1. George Romero's "Dawn of the Dead". I broke the law by altering my driver's permit in order to make myself one-year older so that I could get in and see it. The move was rated "X" for violence and no one under the age of 18 was allowed in. I can't fully describe the reaction I had to the movie at the time. Up until that point I had never seen anything like it when it came to a horror film. The level of violence and gore was so over the top that it was stunning. The special affects haven't aged well, but the premise of the film (rampant consumerism) is still relevant after all these years. I'll also say the beginning of the film is one of the best beginnings of any film period, with the falling apart of society as seen within the confines of a television studio.

2. George Romero's "Day of the Day". At the time when it was released (1984), I thought, "Well this was good, but not great." Over the years the film has risen steadily in my appreciation of it. It's a very dark film, but still offers a wee-bit of hope for society at the end of the film. The interesting thing about the film is that the special affects are light-years ahead of those found in "Dawn" which was only done 6 years prior. The whole Horror genre experienced a massive rebirth from 1978 until the mid 80's and the quality of special affects skyrocketed. As a matter of fact the better zombies in this movie would fit right in with those on "The Walking Dead" when it came to their appearance.

3. "Children Shouldn't Play With Dead Things". A greatly under-appreciated flick made in 1972. I saw it before "Dawn of the Dead" was released and before I had seen the original "Night of the Living Dead" (which I finally saw in 1981). "CSPWDT" is a great zombie flick and I highly recommend it.

4. 1990 version of "Night of the Living Dead". Another zombie flick that doesn't get a lot of mentions on the Interweb. Great special effects and enough tweaks to the story to differentiate it from Romero's 1967 classic.

5. "Zombie 2". After "Dawn" came out a number of zombie flicks were made in Italy. This one is the best. Great special affects and features a zombie vs. shark battle... which didn't come off as cheesy as what it sounds.

really?
my opinion is for 28 days...., but those first 10 minutes of 28 weeks were pretty awesome.

but much respect to your opinion... 28 weeks had a bigger budget, and Danny Boyle didn't direct, he just produced....
I've heard rumblings of a 28 months later, that Boyle would direct.... but who knows...
