Decisions Decisions. I know most of you prefer Dawn of the Dead to most Zombie movies so I thought I would make it alittle more interesting.

it was tough, Day is part of my favorite trilogy, but I have to watch Night and Dawn before I watch Day, I can watch ROTLD anytime, so yeah my vote is ROTLD

Day sucked and ROTLD is a top 2 zombie movie for me.

i couldnt choose between them

ROTLD is one of the funniest films ive ever seen,
DOTD is one of the best and bloodiest horror films ive seen,

The Return of the Living Dead - 8/10 is very entertaining and funny with a kickass ending and memorable characters.

Day of the Dead - 5/10 was a boring and plodding mess with annoying characters. The only saving grace being the zombie and gore effects.

Day of the dead all the way baby! Day was gorier, darker, had better characters, and was more engaging. Day kicks Return's ass any day of the week. Also it was more original. "Choke on em!" "You want me to salute that pile of walking puss, salute my ass." I like Return but Day is clearly the better movie. Strong social commentary and new themes not yet explored in zombie movies. Romero is the king and no one can possibly ever compare.

Return of the Living Dead is one of my most favorite horror movies ever. Day of the Dead isn't bad though, just kinda boring with some really annoying characters.

This is nonsensical in my opinion, since it's true that both are on the opposite sides of the spectrum. I can't say which is better.

I couldn't decide. Return is more fun, but Day had the gore and those cool zombie experiments. I haven't seen Day for a while though, so I might not like it as much now...

Return Of The Living Dead is gnarly, but Day Of The Dead is pretty rad too.

Day of the Dead. It's a brilliant horror film that easily lives up to its predecessors.

Day is, by far, my favorite zombie movie. Long live Bub! *salutes*

They are on opposite sides of the genre but I love them both equally

Return is campy fun for your annual thriller vibe, Day is dark.... really dark.

I was the only person to vote for they both suck. Return of the Dead made me want to cry in so bad its good quality. Day of the Dead was blah.

Sorry Psycho Dude. Even though I usually agree with you this is the one time I don't.

Well we were bound to disagree at some point or another. I mean nobody thinks exactly the same.

Yeah that is very true! Maybe my opinion will change if I watch Day of the Dead again. I know my opinion on Return of the Living Dead will not though lol.

Well that's it poll's done. ROTLD wins by a landslide 17 to 7.

I knew Return would win.

I thought return of the living dead series was a slap in the face to zombie genre fans, and ruined much of the zombie fanbase.

Because of films like these, I have trouble getting friends to watch zombie movies because he thinks they all run around screaming "Braaainsss"

Fuck that shit I say.

I guess you already hate the upcoming "Shaun of the Dead" then.

I think that film is going to be pretty funny... Can't be any worse than the Dawn remake! ;)

I can see how people looking for a fun movie would pick Return, but Day is by far the superior film in every way. It's intelligent, sarcastic, the effects are amazing, and it's very bleak and depressing. If you have only watched this movie once give it another go.

predictable, slow, filled with unlikable characters... ROTLD suffers from none of these.
Don't get me wrong Day is great but Return is better.

Both are equally good films.

i prefer Day Of The Dead - BUT- Return Of The Living Dead was a lot more fun

pyscho dude

Day of the dead= Intelligent, thought provoking, gory masterpiece
Return of the living dead=dumb, spoof, with bad looking zombies and very little gore.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Return but Day is just so much of a better movie. Plus Day was made for less and is more impressive.

Well I'm not gonna try and convince a man whose favorite movie is Day that ROTLD is better but you did but an amazing scenario in my head. What if Returns FX were done by Savini. O the possibilities.

pyscho dude
04-12-2004, 03:56 PM
Well if ROTLD's zombies were done by Savini they would certainly look better than the ones shown now. But the Tarman was cool. "Brains."
