Ward Hazel at Listverse took a look at his choices for the Top 10 Movies About Plague, Pestilence, And Deadly Disease<\/a>.\u00a0 Using just Hazel’s list, let’s see how I’d rank them…<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

10. The Omega Man<\/i><\/span>, 1971<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n10. Death in Venice<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 1971 (I have never seen this.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
09. Blindness<\/i><\/span>, 2008<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n09. Blindness<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 2008 (I haven’t seen this either, but it sounds more appealing than Death in Venice.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
08. Outbreak<\/i><\/span>, 1995<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n08. <\/i>The Andromeda Strain<\/i><\/span><\/span>. 1971. (It’s been a while since I’ve seen TAS. It was okay.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
07. I Am Legend<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n07. I Am Legend<\/i><\/span><\/span> (2007). (The special effects hurt my enjoyment of this one.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
06. The Andromeda Strain<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n06. The Omega Man<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 1971 (I loved this as a kid, but TOM hasn’t held up as well \u2013 still a fun romp.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
05. Contagion<\/i><\/span>, 2011<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n05. Contagion<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 2011 (I remember liking this a lot but feeling it wrapped up the ending a bit too fast. Perhaps another viewing is due.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
04. 28 Days Later<\/i><\/span>, 2003<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n04. 12 Monkeys<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 1995 (Brad Pitt steals this one!) <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
03. <\/i>Train to Busan<\/i><\/span>, 2016<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n03. <\/i>Outbreak<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 1995 (Hard to believe it’s been 25 years. Definitely ahead of the curve.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
02. <\/i>12 Monkeys<\/i><\/span>, 1995<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n02. Train to Busan<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 2016 (The biggest surprise of 2018. I’m looking forward to <\/span><\/span>Pennisula<\/i><\/span><\/span> \u2013 the follow-up set in the same universe, but with different characters.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
01. <\/i>Death in Venice<\/i><\/span>, 1971<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n01. 28 Days Later<\/i><\/span><\/span>, 2003 (I love this one and it gets better with each viewing.)<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

For this list I would have definitely included World War Z<\/em>, Night of the Living Dead<\/em>, Dawn of the Dead<\/em> (remake) and The Crazies<\/em>.\u00a0 Seems like I’m forgetting a few others…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
