target=\"_blank\"><strong>AMC&#8217;s The Walking Dead<\/strong><\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Boston.com<\/strong><\/a> posted their choices for the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.boston.com\/ae\/movies\/gallery\/bestzombiemovies\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Top 25 Zombie Movies of All Time<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Using just their selections, here is <strong>my top ten<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em><strong>Night of the Living Dead<\/strong><\/em> (1968): This is the movie that redefined zombies, kick-started a genre and made <strong>George Romero<\/strong> a living legend.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>Dawn of the Dead<\/strong><\/em> (2004): Just as <em><strong>Night of the Living Dead<\/strong><\/em> changed the way we look at zombies and launched the career of <strong>George Romero<\/strong>, this movie did the same for both <strong>zombies<\/strong> and <strong>Zack Snyder<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><em><strong>28 days later<\/strong><\/em> (2002]: Although the argument can be made that the creatures in <em><strong>28 days later<\/strong><\/em> aren&#8217;t <strong>zombies<\/strong>, they made the list and I agree with the selection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Zombieland<\/strong> (2009) Perfectly walked the line between horror and humor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dawn of the Dead<\/strong> (1978) I walked out on the first viewing because it was just too gory for my girlfriend.\u00a0 <strong>Romero<\/strong> had definitely kicked it up a notch.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Day of the Dead<\/strong> (1985) <strong>Romero<\/strong> has said that this is his personal favorite of his <strong>zombie<\/strong> movies.\u00a0 Who are we to argue?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Night of the Living Dead<\/strong> (1990, remake)\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t seen this in a while, but the memory was that I liked it a lot.\u00a0 Perhaps because it stayed true to the original with just a coupe of twists.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll have to check it out again and see if it holds up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Land of the Dead<\/strong> (2006) Life goes on and things aren&#8217;t bad until&#8230;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Planet Terror<\/strong> (2007) I&#8217;ve only seen this one once, and it had a lot of stuff I liked, but the cheese factor was a bit much to allow me to place it higher on the list.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shaun of the Dead<\/strong> (2004) More comedy than zombie, but it still made the list!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently, in response to the overwhelmingly positive response to AMC&#8217;s The Walking
