Shaun Of The Dead is the most AWESOMEST and BEST movie in the whole world!The first time I saw it was at my nana's house when I slept over her house when I was 8.I'm 13 now and still LOVE it so much.I have SOTD syndrome lol.Shaun Of The Dead is and will always be my fave movie of all time.The people that say Zombieland is a better movie are retards,I saw Zombieland and didn't even think it was funny it was a really bad movie.Shaun Of The Dead ftw!Besides,I'd rather go to the Winchester,not a stupid amusement park lol

this was my favourite part of the film because with every beat of the song they hit the pub owner and with the darts it has the comedeic value because one hits the bar on e hits the zombie and the last one hit pegg in the head.

@Ross

I also think Hot Fuzz is more rewatchable. I think the mother scene kind of killed the fun of the movie, it was too much of a downer in my opinion, and the whole whacking zombies to Queen thing felt a little too drawn out in my opinion…

But other than that, I liked both movies but thought Hot Fuzz was more entertaining, felt more “fun” all the way through, but that’s just my opinion.

Another great Horror/Comedy is the great American Werewolf in London.

I don’t even know what to say about this movie, it is that good. Some of my favorite scenes include 1) the record chucking scene in the garden, 2) “Behavior 101″ and 3) the portion when the troupe runs across another gaggle of people, somehow eerily familiar. Just awesome.

People will prefer SotD to Hot Fuzz or vice versa depending on whether they prefer zombie flix to cop flix or vice versa. I think they’re both very well done, but because I don’t enjoy cop films, I didn’t get much out of Hot Fuzz.

SotD was my initial exposure to Pegg et al. I’ve long been a fan of Brit-coms (that few that make it across the ocean) and of zombie flix, so my hopes were high for SotD, especially after I’d read that it was wildly popular in Britain.

I don’t believe that I’ll ever see a film that I’ll enjoy more. In fact, I don’t have any interest whatsoever in seeing Zombieland because I couldn’t help but to compare it to SotD, forevermore the supreme zom-com.

I could watch SotD in an endless loop forever. Every last detail about it totally captivates me, and no matter how many times I see/hear the same jokes, they still entertain me. And for a few years, I seldom played any music other than SotD’s soundtrack.

Because of how rich SotD is in references to pre-existing zombie films, and because the film is so well done on so many levels, I’d recommend watching all of the classics–Romero’s oeuvre, the Evil Dead trilogy, and maybe even Return of the Living Dead (the first zom-com)–before watching this ultimate zombie flick.

ross i have to disagree. SotD is definitly rewatchable not nearly as ho fuzz. ive seen i about 6-8 times and shaun only 2-3. hot fuzz is one of h funnyist movies ever

I’ll have to disagree Ross. Hot Fuzz was, in no way, inferior to Shaun. Equally as good and with better action.

the splosions were bigger.

What I think makes Shaun of the Dead more enjoyable than Hot Fuzz for me is 1) It’s more rewatchable – a shorter runtime and faster pace 2) There’s more of a “laid back” feeling to it – you can just put it on any time but not so with HF IMO and 3) The jokes just… connect with me a bit more.

Don’t get me wrong, as I say, I thought Hot Fuzz was fantastic but for me, SotD is EASILY the better of the two.
