Shaun of the Dead.

I've never really liked Army of Darkness.

AoD is just too over the top for me, but Shaun seems to find the perfect balance between humorand horror.

Don't get me wrong though, I love ED and EDII

As much as I love Shaun of the Dead I have to go with Army of darkness cause Bruce Campbell just plain ol kicks major @$$ in everything. He is one of my all time favorites and I just can't go against him.

We may have to change things back! This is one of those questions that has potential to cause serious brain trauma. I never bet against my man Bruce! NEVER! But Shaun of the Dead is top notch also!

BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE BRUCE! I need an aspirin!

For now it will be Shaun... In a world full of awful remakes and Romero wannabies, that movie saved the day.

For me it's hands down ARMY OF DARKNESS... beats Shaun of the Dead no contest...

AoD was/is much more an original film blending horror and comedy together... SotD, while I thought it was a good film, I thought the first half was a comedy and the second half was an average zombie movie... I didn't think it really blended comedy and horror, merely had one and then the other.

I don't think I need to mention Bruce Campbell... you love him or you love him so much you stalk him day and night endlessly... everyone loves Bruce!

Compare each movie and element scene for scene and I think Army of Darkness will win more of the comparisons.
