Shaun of the Dead (2004,  R)
Shaun of the Dead
everyone from spaced makes a film, and keep there warm funy brit humour, a wining formula, paying homage to romero and his dead films, not taking piss out of remake of dawn of the dead, as some people i, know have pointed out, in pegg and frost a great double act, scary and funny, always a winning combination, and the level is right here, its a brilliant film anyway, but being a fan of there sitcom spaced, which also involved director edgar wright, its so mucch more entertaining, sometimes feels like a full lenth episode, keeping many elements that made that show great.
