It's horror movie season in the US and my favorite type is zombies. I also love campy B movies. Watching Dead Snow 2 right now and I think it ranks up there with Shawn of the Dead and Evil Dead 3: Army of Darkness.

What is your top pick for whatever genre?

Return of the Living Dead (1985)

I watched this recently. Actual not-dumb characters is sooo nice. I'd written this off as just yet another Romero style zombie movie but it has it's own thing going on. I think given how much I liked Tusk (saw it last night) and Dale and Tucker vs. Evil I have a soft spot for R rated horror comedy.

Classics!

I like The Blob(1988) too.

The original Romero zombie movie series deserves its own discussion IMO. Dawn of the Dead is my favorite.
