zombie movies

Zombie movies are one of the best horror subgenres, in my opinion. Even the most lame and comedic of zombie films can have a frightening undertone, I think it all goes back to the mortal fear of being eaten alive. Wasn't this why JAWS was so successful in scaring people out of the water? Nobody wanted to be swimming, and all of a sudden become lunch for some aquatic terror, and nobody wants the world to be overrun with fleasheating freaks from beyond (My little ode to Blake F's next movie there, hehe)

Zombie films are a great way for directors to subliminally relay their ideals on society and values, as well. That fact being all too evident in George Romero's Dawn Of The Dead. If you haven't seen this movie, you are quite lame, and since most of you have, I won't get in to the details because you by now should know what I am talking about. The symbolism of a zombie is something quite powerful. A world overrun by "zombies" (the conforming, brainwashed masses), a small group of people (the outcasts) being the only ones who can save us. This is an age old tale told in countless stories, given a modern, horrific facelift.

But, many of you ask, why is this such a big deal? It isn't! I'm sick of this board being deader than my last girlfriend!!!

I'm curious as to what everyones favorite zombie films are? Yeah, yeah, everyone's going to reply with "Dawn Of The Dead, Dead Alive, ZOMBIE" But what about the lesser known films, the ones that are just as great? Give me your list... Here's mine...

ZOMBI 3
Tombs Of The Blind Dead
Oasis Of The Zombies

and there are more, but I can't remember right now...
