dawn of the dead('78)/day of the dead('85)... I can't decide which is better

To me, Dawn is the clear choice there. The effects in Day are better, but Dawn has a better story, in my opinion. Have you ever read the original script? It's probably still floating around the internet somewhere, it's ridiculously different from the final film, apparently they lost most of their funding and had to cut out the majority of the effects in the script. They used some of it in Land of the Dead, too, though.

as much as I love dawn, there is a big chunk of time i just get disinterested upon multiple viewings, I mean it's not even really the effects in day that do it for me, it's just the dialogue, it's so damn quotable and joe pilato(leader) and terry alexander(flyboy) are amazing, I just get more entertainment out of the dialogue in day and there really is no downtime for me like there is in dawn between when they first explore the mall and when the bikers show up... thats just a big chunk that I get bored with once in a while, but the rest of it is so good it evens out... I still can't decide.

Fair enough. To be fair, I've seen Day a lot more than I've seen Dawn, in fact, I've only seen Dawn in its entirety probably three times. To me, Dawn seems to attempt to be more of a social commentary, whereas Day is more typical situational zombie horror. I guess 'typical' isn't a fair term since Romero invented the genre and all, but you know what I mean.

(Tried to choose one from a few different categories)

[chum43]

5. The Quiet Man


the quiet man is probably my favorite john ford movie, and definitely my favorite john wayne performance, it's really underrated, just because there are so many others in those two categories that get all the glory... the boxing flashback is two of the best minutes in cinema history as far as i'm concerned.

All you Kill Bill fans should know that they're coming out with a box set in, I believe, November. It's edited into one movie, and it's listed as NC-17, so I'm assuming it's probably the foreign cut (no cutting to black and white during the Crazy 88 fight, a few extra gory bits in the anime sequence).
