This movie rocked my socks! :laughbounce: It was funny and dramatic all at once, and the main characters were really lovable (esp. Shaun! ^_^). I just adored it. I definitely recommend it to others!

:lol: :lol: Good to know I'm OK.

I think this and 28 days later are the best zombie movies ever.

I would agree, except they weren't technically zombies in 28 Days Later. But I know what you mean.

Alot of the lines are repeated; the whole TimeSplitters dialogue is repeated when they are in the bar and are actually shooting...

 

[SpyDude]

i think it was a real funny movie. My favourite character was Ed. he was so funńy. A good british comedy.

 

[Rambaldi_Follower]

I love this movie. It's seriously wicked and make me feel proud to be British!

My favorite bits:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shaun: [about Ed] He's not my boyfriend!
Ed: [handing beer to Shaun] It might be a bit warm, the cooler was off.
Shaun: Thanks babe.
[winks]

looking through Shaun's LPs for suitable records to throw at two approaching zombies]
Ed: Purple Rain.
Shaun: No.
Ed: Sign o' the Times.
Shaun: Definitely not.
Ed: The Batman soundtrack?
Shaun: Throw it.

Trying to call the emergency services]
Ed: Shaun, what's going on?
Shaun: s***, it's engaged!
Ed: How about an ambulance?
Shaun: It's engaged, Ed.
Ed: A fire engine?
Shaun: It's one number, Ed, and it's busy! Okay? What you want a fire engine for, anyway?
Ed: Anything with flashing lights, you know?


What does everyone else think???

Shaun of the Dead came out in 9/04 in the US so it's still in the Now Showing category, here. Please continue in that thread. Closing this one.

Moving?

 

[Alias-Fanatic]

This film was really good, it was a shame i didn't get to see it sooner than i would have hoped but it was definitely worth the wait. Couldn't stop watching it once i saw it the first time

 

[Valentino]

Not your typical horror zombie movie, but it's an awesome movie nonetheless! I love the humour in it =]
