The 13 Greatest Zombie Movies Ever Made

Zombie movies just won't stay dead. This weekend sees the release of a fifth (!) Resident Evil movie, and there are more films about the undead on the way. The good news is, the zombie movie genre has produced a huge variety of stunningly weird films over the decades.

Here are the 13 greatest zombie movies of all time. And yes, this includes a lot of different types of zombies — whether they're bitten by Sumatran rat-monkey, turned undead by a magical elixir or infected by the T-Virus, as long as they rot and move at the same time, they're still zombies to us. Here they are, in no particular order.

1. 28 Days Later (2002)
Danny Boyle's horror flick not only gives rise to the fast zombie, it also makes time in the midst of the violence to humanize the fellow travelers. Sandwiched between undead fists full of human meat are touching scenes in supermarkets ,where strangers learn to trust one another. And it only makes it that much more sad when they're killed off. Honorable mention on this list: 28 Weeks Later.

2. Night of the Living Dead (1968)
George Romero's classic. The movie that spawned the whole legend of zombie films.

3. Zombieland (2009)
Sassy and smart, Zombieland works because it addresses the many problems with so many zombie movies: Characters always break the most important rules. But not in this film, which follows a gaggle of strangers as they embark across country looking for a safe haven. Plus there's a lot of audience wish fulfillment, especifically when the camp settles down in LA, invading the homes of the local celebrities and getting high on their stash.

4. Zombi 2 (1979)
Almost all of Lucio Fulci's zombie movies are pretty ridiculously awesome (in the "so bad it's good" sense) but Zombi 2 will live on in undead history books for the infamous Shark Vs. Zombie underwater battle scene.

5. Dead Alive (1992)
The best use of electric pink and red blood and fake skin in a zombie movie. Ever. Peter Jackson's Dead Alive is hands down the bloodiest zombie film, and when you live in a world where everyone's skin is made out of playdoh, it's no wonder. People's faces are ripped off, skin is stretched, and victims' rib cages are ripped out and handed to the owner. It's bloody and beautiful all at the same time.

6. ParaNorman (2012)
Goonies meets Dawn of the Dead, but with a whole lotta heart. This is a zombie movie you can bring your kids to, and that's one reason why we love Laika's new stop motion zombie feature. Not just because it's beautiful and scary, but also because it shows a whole new side to the blue-faced creatures of terror.

7. Dawn of the Dead (1978)
Social commentary packaged in a smart move. Dawn of the Dead is a fantastic zombie movie, not just because it awakened the survivalist in us all, but because it was also pokes an undead finger at the explosion of consumerism. We're all just starving shambling monsters consuming products, and never being satisfied. And even though the mall has become a common sight across the nation, this flick still holds up. Plus moving into a mall was a wickedly smart move, it's nice to follow a pack of smart characters. Unlike in Zack Snyder's remake, where the whole crew goes to hell chasing aftera lost dog.

8. Shaun of the Dead (2004)
Easily one of the very best meta horror movies ever made. Almost every single previous zombie movie is spoofed or name checked here ("they're coming to get you Barbra!") and it's glorious. Plus there's real horror. Characters die, families are destroyed. But in the end (almost) everyone becomes a better person for it. It's a lovely film.

9. Death Becomes Her (1992)
Surprise! Didn't think this story about two decomposing birds battling it out qualifies for the zombie label? I say it does, and will take it up in comments with anyone who wants to disagree with me. This is not only a great magic zombie movie with an excellent surprise (drink the magic potion and you live forever, but if you die you live forever too as the slowly rotting shell of yourself). They cannot die, and they do decompose, so they're smarter than the average undead corpse and they don't eat brains. In a nutshell, they're more evolved zombies.

10. White Zombie (1932)
Not the best zombie ever made, but wildly considered to be the first (full length) zombie feature. Plus it starred Béla Lugosi as 'Murder' Legendre, the evil voodoo master who rules over an entire crew of zombies.

11. Army of Darkness (1992)
So they're Deadites and not "zombies," and Sam Raimi's series stretches the traditional zombie definition. They're still rotting bodies that come back to life, plus they're hilarious. We really adored the silly skeleton army and their wacky antics. Also this movie asks the burning question, is a pile of bones a zombie? Do you have to have skin in order to be a zombie? For now, we say yes. Because we can.

12. Resident Evil (2002)
The movie that launched four more T-Virus movies and copious "Milla Jovovich has nice legs while kicking ass" shots. Say what you will about it being silly or simple, Paul W.S. Anderson struck gold turning the video game world into movie reality. Plus it's fun — the combination of T-Virus monster with T-Virus zombie and plenty of additional evil Umbrella Corporation gadgets (like the wall of bone slicing lasers) keeps people on their toes, much like a video game. Note this was almost replaced with the very road warrior-esque Resident Evil: Apocalypse, but it was the first.

13. Re-Animator (1985)
Completely off-the-rails insane, but still scary. Re-Animator stars the now cult treasure Jeffery Combs, and centers around a student who brings his professor back to life — and things go terribly wrong, as they so often do. Featuring the unforgettable image of a zombie head between the legs of poor Barbara Crampton. [link]

10 Most Beautiful British Women

10. Naomi Watts

She is the one person on this list who looks prettier without make up. She can leave her hair uncombed for five effin’ days and she will look just as hot.

9. Kate Winslet

She’s not for everyone, certainly not for me but that doesn’t stop me from acknowledging that she has one of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood.

8. Cheryl Cole

I just learned of her recently. Sort of the Britney Spears of Britain, only she can really sing. Like Jennifer Lopez, only she’s not that big of a bitch. She’s hawt. And this Dancing with the Stars dancer Derek Hough has her. Lucky dork.

7. Kiera Knightly

She’s not like a drop dead gorgeous kind of girl but she has a certain appeal. I don’t see the appeal but I have been assured by other men that it’s there.

6. Emma Watson

Our little Emma is all grown up. She kinda makes me feel like a phedophile but she’s legal now. I can… you know… have a crush on her.

5. JK Rowling

Okay, so she’s not your usual drop dead gorgeous woman. I haven’t even seen on her bikinis but somehow that is not important. She’s a great writer… a true alpha female. And I like it.

4. Kate Beckinsale

Now she’s drop dead gorgeous. She’s perfect and she can sure kick butts.
She has the perfect body, the perfect face, the perfect style… perfect!

3. Elizabeth Hurley

I think Hugh Grant is stupid for letting her go.
I know she’s white but she gives a somewhat exotic appeal, spicy and uncommon.

2. Audrey Hepburn

I think she’s an epitome of self-issues. She thinks she’s too fat, too tall and just plain ugly.
That is perhaps why she was often “accused” of being anorexic.

1. Elizabeth Taylor

Okay, stop imagining her as she is now. Google her old photos and you will see what the rage is all about. I think God took His time on creating her. [link]

10 Most Unique Elevators in the World

It is hard to describe or to explain the fascination exerted by a fast elevator. I am sure that, for a jungle or countryside raise child, the elevators are by far the most interesting and fascinating thing in a big city.Many different reasons can make a certain elevator be interesting, amazing or fascinating.

The fastest elevators are for sure fascinating; they ensure accelerations bigger than a plane. Outdoor elevators are also amazing through dimensions, but many of them are causing serious environment issues. The elevators linking the parts of the city from different heights are very useful, and became iconic landmarks of that city.

Here I have compiled some of the world’s most unique elevators. I hope you will like it.

The Gateway Arch

The Gateway Arch of St. Louis, Missouri is a must see. To go to the top of the Arch, passengers in groups of five enter an egg-shaped compartment. The trip to the top of the Arch takes four minutes.

Santa Justa Lift

The Santa Justa Lift is in the city of Lisbon at Santa Justa Street. The Santa Justa Lift was made in 1902 and is powered by steam.

Hammetschwand Elevator

Europe’s highest exterior elevator is the Hammetschwand Lift located in Switzerland. It whisks passengers 153 meters up to the summit in less than one minute.

Lacerda Elevator

Connecting the old and the new part of Salvador, and allowing access to more than 30,000 people a day at a cost of $0.05 per 38 second ride, this elevator reaches a height of 72 meters.

Taipei 101

The world’s fastest elevator is installed at Taipei 101. The Taipei 101 is 101-storey building and has 67 elevator units. These rockets skyward at a peak speed of 3,314 ft. per minute.

Bailong Elevator

This 326 meter high elevator takes you up the side of one of the many enormous cliffs in Zhangjiajie, China. It is claimed to be the highest and heaviest outdoor elevator in the world.

Louvre Elevator

At the push of a button, the elevator inside the Louvre, Paris, rises to the occasion. A slide-out walkway appears once the circular platform comes to a rest for guests to board/disembark.

Eiffel Tower

Due to the shape of the Eiffel Tower’s curved legs duo-lift elevators are running up and down each of the four legs.

Luxor Inclinator Elevator

In Las Vegas, Nevada, at the Luxor Hotel, is the Inclinator. The shape of this casino is a pyramid. Therefore, the elevator travels up the side of the pyramid at a 39 degree angle.

Oregon City Municipal Elevator

This one is unique because it’s the only outdoor municipal elevator in the United States. The first elevator was made in 1915. The new elevator was dedicated in 1955. [link]

7 of the World’s Most Expensive Houses

Money might not be everything, but you have to admit that the idea of a luxury mansion is definitely appealing! There are a lot of people that wish that they could have a really nice house, but they just don’t have that type of money. Instead of being green with envy, you might use lists like these as a source of inspiration. What pushes you forward? Well, we like to get inspiration from some of the world’s most expensive houses. We picked 7 houses that really caught our attention — is your favorite on this list?
1. Antilla

Have you ever lived in a house with 27 floors? There’s one in India. It’s owned by Mukesh Ambani, and it’s 570 feet tall. It’s worth a billion dollars, which is definitely nothing to sneeze at.

There’s also a big garage that contains over 170 cars — and room for plenty more!

Could you imagine living in a house with 29 bedrooms? There would definitely be a lot of places for all of your guests to stay! Nobody would even need to take a hotel room! The mansion used to actually be on the market, but the strange part is that no one actually showed any interest in getting the place.

3. Aaron Spelling’s Mansion

Aaron Spelling has definitely made his mark in the world of entertainment, and so has his house. It stretches across a whopping 56,000 square feet of land. It’s estimated in value at 150 million dollars. It was built in 1991, and includes 123 bedrooms, a tennis court, a skating rink, and too many swimming pools to list. Now this is luxury!

The entire ranch stretches across 14,397 square feet. The ranch boasts 27 bathrooms as well as 15 bedrooms. That’s not the weird part though: there’s a sewage treatment plant right on the ranch.
