The Zombie Movie: Romero's third foray into the realm of the living dead remains one of the most inventive zombie movies ever made, with a small band of survivors (divided broadly into scientists and military men) squabbling over how best to combat the undead menace, as the horde gradually tracks down their location…
The Moment: Captain Rhodes has behaved like such an irredeemable prick throughout the movie, that when he finally gets his, you almost feel like cheering the zombies on. That said, it is a truly horrible way to go, with the entire horde tearing Rhodes to pieces and feasting on his innards. "Choke on 'em," screams Rhodes, a badass to the end.
Splatter-Factor: Grisly doesn't even begin to cover it. Those zombies open Rhodes up like he were a packet of crisps.

great list you just cant beat good old zombies, although this could have been a top 50 list i think... with moments like * the girl eating her parents in night of the living dead, i would class 28 days/weeks later as a zombie film (whether they like it or not) and the bit of rob carlysle being reunited with his wife is rather grisly

There's a great scene in Survival of the Dead where a zombie gets shot with a flare gun.. I won't ruin it if you haven't seen it but, safe to say that nobody can despatch a zombie quite like Romero. The beginning of 28 days later was incredible. I would honestly put it up there with Jaws and Raiders as one of the best openings to a film. Good shout on Dead Heat.. finally watched it a couple of months back.. really has to be seen to be believed especially for the fight in the chinese kitchen.. watching Treat WIlliams fight off a spleen (think Naked Gun 2 1/2 fight scene) makes you wonder how his career never really took off.

Hey what about the cinema scene in American Werewolf in London? Not all Zombies are bad!

Braindead is the best film ever made. Peter Jackson's first ever award I think, for the most fake blood ever used in a film. Well, if you will use a lawnmower on zombies, there's gonna be a lot of blood.
