Okay, so we all know that Romero is the master when it comes to this genre, but has anyone got any other recommendations?

Shaun of the Dead was one of the best films of last year IMO and pulled off that rare trick of being both genuinely frightening and funny.

Any others?

This is where I should talk about zombies. As I was saying, Max Brooks is the son of Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft. He's pretty good looking! Must be the Italiano in him. Anyway, Max is a zombie expert and wrote a book about it. I wonder if Mel Brooks ever made a zombie movie.

Agreed re Romero, and Shaun of the Dead was a lot of fun.

Reanimator, Brain Dead (aka Dead Alive) and the Evil Dead series are zomcom classics, and Return of the Living Dead 3, Idle Hands, Plan 9 From Outer Space and Zombie Flesh Eaters (aka Zombi 2) may be worth a look, depending on taste.

Speaking of taste, Bad Taste if we're counting zombielike brain-eating aliens. Probably not, huh. I also liked the rage-infected super-speed zombielike non-zombies in 28 Days Later. That flick broadened and advanced the genre in some ways, and rewarded a rewatch and dvd commentary exploration.

Golden Oldie: I Walked with a Zombie.

Most underrated: The Serpent and the Rainbow.

It's true what you say depending on taste. I've seen some Italian zombie movies that were really nasty. Zombie monks getting decapitated. Then the casting is really weird, there was a midget cast as a little boy who breast feeds and he ends up eating his mother. *shiver*

classic: White Zombie
newer: Dellamorte Dellamore, really cool italian cult movie; Junk: Shiryō-gari
amateur: The Dead Next Door, Redneck Zombies (Troma), Premutos (german)

Dawn of the Mummy, well it´s a ... mummy movie (what a surprise), but the mummies behave like zombies.

I also recommend italian zombie movies from Fulci or D´Amato.
There´s one called Hell Of The Living Dead. It´s a little bit controversial, if it´s good or bad, but I like it.
