1. Day of the Dead. Few movies have made me feel so lonely as Day of the Dead. The zombies have taken over, the few survivors are struggling and the world is empty except for flesh eating zombies. Best zombie movie ever made in my opinion.
2. Dawn of the Dead. Interesting setting, great characters, great story.
3. Night of the Living Dead. Classic and ground breaking. However, it hasn't aged well at all. Some of the acting is worse than a cheesy day time opera. With better actors and slightly improved script the movie would have aged better. People holding it in a very high regard are only doing so in terms of the impact it has had. Overall a good to great movie that has aged terribly.
4. Land of the Living Dead. Good zombie movie but doesn't feel anything like the old trilogy.
5. Survival of the Dead. Terrible CGI starts off the movie and you know it's going to be pretty bad. Overall not a bad zombie movie when compared to other zombie movies as most zombie movies usually are terrible but this one is bearable (though when put in relation to good movies in other genres, it stinks).
6. Diary of the Dead. By far the worst Romero movie. The social commentary is so over the top and thrown in your face (I like the social commentary in the older movies) and the characters are by far the worst he's ever written - stupid as *beep* and annoying. Survival and Diary are both not good movies and why I have Diary at the bottom is simply because I can't stand the characters. Yuck.
Haven't watched Romero's zombie movies in several years now so time to take another look to see if Day still is the best one and if Diary is worse than Survivor and if they both are as *beep* as when I first watched them.
