Wow, Zombieland totally slipped my mind . That is a great movie - very funny (the Bill Murray subplot alone is worth the price of admission). That definitely belongs in the top 3.

my all time favorite is

1. 28days later
2. walking dead series

ive seen many more but these stick out the most

I'm not a huge zombie fan, but I've come to appreciate the genre more recently - in no small part due to the two works you listed above and the book "World War Z" .... my fear now is that with Brad Pitt signed on to do the movie version of WWZ - which ideally would be a pseudo documentary and not a Hollywood action movie - WWZ will be lessened or even ruined for those who haven't read the book - which is amazing in its epic scope.

I guess the only other zombie story I liked a bit was "Shaun of the Dead" which is good low-brow comedy. Never could get into the George Romero films - slow-moving, dumb monsters don't really scare me. Even the zombies of Walking Dead somehow seem a bit more intimidating than the dim-witted meat puppets of the Romero films.

28 Days Later is amazing with the addition of animalistic speed and rage to the zombie - truly frightening concept. The sequal wasn't as good, but was still better than most zombie fiction.
