Shaun of the Dead or Zombieland?

I'm gonna go with Shaun of the Dead. Zombieland was awesome, but Shaun had a subtle wit that fits the genre well in my opinion...

Agreed. The humour in Shaun was of a different and somewhat more subtle variety (Ex. You've got red on you). Which one I watch depends on the kind of humour I'm in the mood for. :)

Surprisingly, Zombieland.

Shaun came first, the writers of Zombieland openly admit that they drew inspiration from Shaun, I love what the trio of Pegg/Wright/Frost do, and Shaun has some great moments.

I just have more fun watching Zombieland. Too much of the humour in Shaun is the 'cringe' variety, which I just cannot deal with, and makes certain parts of the film hard to watch. It is just a personal thing and no comment on the film itself

Nice post thanks

I have to go with Shaun. It is overall a better film and holds its own much better upon repeat viewings.

How many times do you watched the movie?

Good!

Zombieland is great for me, less for the Bill Murray part.

Gotta go with Shaun of the Dead. This was overall okay but the ending was stupid.

Can't choose, I love both equally.

I'm also very fond of "Cockneys vs. Zombies". :D

Shaun is a classic, zombie land just very good
