Thursday Movie Picks #13: Zombie Movies

I've been loving the weekly themes that Wandering Through the Shelves has been hosting. My movie knowledge isn't expansive enough (yet!) for me to take part every week, but I had great fun compiling a post for the Movies Set Locally theme and now I'm here again with my 3 favourite Zombie Movies.

Granted, this isn't a very inspired list as I'm not the biggest horror fan around, but I absolutely love these films so they definitely deserve their place in this post.

I may as well start with the most obvious. Zombieland is one of my favourite comedies, let alone horror movie. Funnily enough, Jenna first introduced me to it about 18 months ago and I must have seen it at least 5 times since. The first ten minutes still make me jump! Now excuse me, I need to do some cardio, you know, just in case...

You can't talk about zombie movies without at least mentioning Shaun of the Dead. The scene where the group try and fit in is just fantastic. I was walking to the train station to get home when I was last in Birmingham and accidently joined a local charity's 'zombie walk' and felt the urge to do a Shaun. I was getting some very odd looks walking amongst a crowd of (horrifyingly convincing) zombies!

Warm Bodies might just be the best Valentine's Day movie I've ever been taken to. What a brilliant twist on the typical romantic movie that couples go to see! This was even better than I thought it would be, and surprisingly funny to boot, and let's face it, Nicholas Hoult is just a sweetie, zombie or not.

Don't forget to check out the list of upcoming themes that Wandering Through the Shelves is hosting here, it would be great to see more bloggers take part!
