    Same here, Max.

    I'd love it if the genre actually got a good enough script to make us feel something for the characters in an LD situation.

    Many good examples... but

    Nobody mentions the death of Shawn's step Dad. His dying speach is very touching. Here's somebody who really wanted to reach out to a boy that had lost his birth Dad and been rebuffed so many times, taking his last chance to explain himself.

    It makes me cry.

    What about the scene in LAND where Dead Reckoning gets back to the city only to discover that they were too late to save the people trapped by the fence?

    Unquestionably, it is the first scene that Craig mentioned, when Roger dies.

    Second place, that we didnt get to see more of Fran naked in the aforementioned bed scene.....

    Marie and Cykotic make two good points - Shaun's dad dying and his final speech is very touching ... and having just watched Land of the Dead again this afternoon (LAND FUNKING ROCKS!!!) when they discover the feeding frenzy and Riley orders Charlie to put them out of their misery, the scene with the music layered on top always brings some intense chills up my spine. Great scene.

    That was one of my points on an essay I wrote about homosociality - I covered Shaun of the Dead and Swingers. Got a good mark too

    I think SOTD had the best emotion to it out of all the dead movies, the scene with shauns mom and stepdad, ed in the cellar IMO better than any of the schlocky moments romero put together. I thought the scene where the guy driving the truck in DOTD04 got offed by ving rhames was pretty good.

    Hmmmmmmmmm I think when Roger died. That whole sequence up till he rose and was shot was sooo sad. The Dr Logan scene was sad as well.

    Agreed, however, I thought when he was "saying goodbye" to Ed in the cellar was sadder than killing his mom.

    The saddest scene in a "dead" movie...

    When Johnny Dingle gets shot through the heart, saving the life of Missy McCloud. Hands down, without a doubt, the saddest, heart felt moment of any zombie movie.

    *snickers* at saps getting all emotional about Shaun (yawn?) of the Dead.

    Shaun should have whacked his mother a lot sooner than he did, for nicknaming him "Pickle."

    Only the Dawn 'remake' deserves the title "Yawn04"
