1. Dawn of the Dead (2004 Remake)

Although not a true remake (the only things in common with original were the zombies and the mall setting), the modern Dawn of the Dead goes down as my favorite zombie flick ever. Director Zack Snyder put himself on the map with this stylized, but very realistic take on a familiar genre with a high degree of entertainment value. Sarah Polley makes for strong and vulnerable protagonist and Ving Rhames is the tough guy we all wish we could be. Complete home run and I never get tired of re-watching it!
