In no particular order and pretty similar to Jello Biafra's.

Let Me In
Quarantine
Texas Chainsaw Massacre
The Hills Have Eyes
The Last House on the Left
The Thing
Dawn of the Dead
The Fly
The Crazies
Evil Dead
Maniac
Funny Games
Invasion of the Body Snatchers

Always forget about the Crazies..very dope flick

[same damn lo sweater]

the hills have eyes
the ring - i like the og better but they're both very good
night of the living dead- tom savini's version
dark water- crappy but entertaining

I'd have to say The Hills Have Eyes.

First person that says "Dawn of the Dead"

Dawn of the Dead remake was actually good though

 

[Poetical Poltergeist]

dark water- crappy but entertaining

Nah that shyt was just crappy. Nothing memorable about that flick at all.

I seem to be in the small minority of people who don't like the movie. I'm probably a lot tougher on the movie than I should be because the original Dawn of the Dead is my favorite horror movie.. and feel the 2004 version really doesn't deserve to be linked to such a classic movie.. I know they had to call it Dawn of the Dead because it's a zombie movie that takes place in a Mall, and if they just tried to do a stand alone movie with a different name it wouldn't have been as profitable and probably would scream "Rip-Off", but the two movies have nothing really in common.

The epilogue to the movie is very well done, and I'm able to look past the running zombies which I'm typically not a fan of, I just hated how all of the characters are basically unlikable.. and it's more of an action thriller than a straight up horror flick.

The original had that great social commentary that was a hallmark of Romero's early "Dead" work and I love it for that but I also dig the remake because it decided it was going to just be a balls to the wall zombie action movie and did it very well.

And he took the conceit and made it his own

Hated that movie with a passion breh, but it's prob because the original is my favorite zombie movie of all time.

only good part about the new texas chainsaw massacre was being able to see Jessica Biel's titties thru her wet t-shirt

I watched the remake before the OG, and while the OG was good, I still preferred the remake.
