Default Shaun of the Dead.

Ah, I love British Comedies. Simon Pegg as Shaun and Nick Frost as Ed give out hilarious performances and Edgar Wright did an excellent job Writing (along with Simon Pegg) and directing Shaun of the Dead.

The plot is Shaun isn't having a very good day since his girlfriend dumped him. So he's trying to get his ex (Liz played my Kate Ashfield) back in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. So now he has to save his roomate (Ed), his ex (While trying to get back with her), her roomates (David and Dye), and his mom.

Shaun of the Dead has many references to prior zombie films and other horror films (Such as Night of the Living Dead, Evil Dead I and II along with Army of Darkness, Braindead/Dead Alive, Dawn of the Dead, and King of the Zombies) so it has it's share of gory parts.

Even if you're not a zombie fan, this is a must-see, it's just plain hilarious and very well-done. Even zombie-film legend, George A. Romero, was impressed with Pegg's and Frost's performances.

Many laugh-out-loud lines, memorable parts that you'll never forget, and possibly quotes that you will repeat with your friends. Like many good comedies do.

Yep, I've seen both plenty of times. Shaun of the Dead is much more funny than Hot Fuzz, though. Hot Fuzz was more on "serious comedy" (I can't explain it).

OMFG, I love this movie, great laughs, and the lead star, omg, he is such a crack up.

Favourite Scene has to be when they were pretending to be Zombies, OMFG it was so funny, but I was so scared that they wouldn't get caught by the others.

Hahaha. The Zombie walking scene was hilarious, Pegg and Frost's expressions were die-hard laughing.

I think all of the scenes were brilliant. It's one of those comedies, much like Big Lebowski, that is more serious. I really like those kind and I find them funnier than comedies that do "retarded" elements to creatE humor. Austin Powers being the prime example.

I love the scene where Shaun and Ed are listening to electro and Pete comes in. Him saying F*** every other word was just hilarious. Then Ed, after Pete was done screaming, just says "F*** Yea!"

Note: I'm not bashing comedies that use stupid elements to create humor.

You have your own opinions, and none the wiser

The end was funny, where Shaun had to kill Ed at the end, and he's like screw the friendship I want to live. Or something like that.

Well Ed wanted to be shot. Shaun and Liz were planning on a suicide (One would kill the other, than themselves) But as in the beginning of the movie, Ed farts and the brief converstation between him and Shaun goes like this:

Ed: Shaun, I'm sorry.
Shaun: It's alright.
Ed: No, I'm sorry Shaun

Than glares at him (He didn't at the end, but Shaun smelt it) The beginning one was funnier, however.
