Dead Alive (a.k.a. Braindead , 1992)
A decade before Peter Jackson wrapped up his Lord of the Rings trilogy, he directed the best zombie movie ever made. If you haven't heard of Dead Alive before, that might be because you're living in one of the countries where the full version of this flick has been banned. With good reason: This movie is teeming with gory scenes, one of which required the use of five gallons of fake blood per second .

The humor in Dead Alive will stick with you more than the effects, however. Timothy Balme plays Lionel, a New Zealander suffering from the psychological issues that come with an overbearing mother. Personal salvation comes in the form of a new girlfriend, but Lionel's blossoming romance is disrupted by the living dead. Coming to terms with his inner demons suddenly involves tearing out zombies' innards.

The combination of comic timing and flesh splatters makes Dead Alive the perfect zombie movie. Peter Jackson may not have taken home 11 Oscars for this one, but it made the top of the list.
