Shaun of the Dead has been my favourite film since the first time i saw it, i'd love there to be more films like it, Hot Fuzz is looking like it could be, fingers crossed.
Anyway, after watching the film more than once you start to realise the genius of it. Everything that is said and done links in with something else, it's just very, very clever. An example would be when Ed says that the next time he sees Pete he'll be dead, which he is, as Pete is a zombie the next time Ed sees him. Another one would be Pete telling Ed to live in the shed, at the end of the film, he is.
I challenge anyone to find a genuinely cleverer film than this one, cleverer may not be a word.

It's clever in that it is so English too. It puts me back to how life was when I was single but you only got zombies after the nightclub shut in those days, lol.
I absolutely love this film and we often watch it. Of course I cry when they leave Ed behind and can't believe they never got Ed in the Shed any clean clothes but it's so fantastic.
A joy to watch with many different levels of humour. Shaun and Ed are brilliant, so much fun.

and that very English quality that makes SOTD so funnny is taken to greater lengths in Hot Fuzz which is sort of Bad Boys II meets Midsomer Murders.

I thought it was a hilarious movie. Both of those guys are really good together and made that movie really funny. I thought it was great that a spoof finally made fun of zombie movies and how absurd they are. I really liked how stupid their zombies were, they were obviously the least threatening zombies of any movie I have seen.
A while ago, not too many people I knew had seen the movie, but now it is more than a cult classic and a lot of people are very fond of it.
