Easily the best entry in the so-called "Blood and Ice Cream Trilogy", Shaun of the Dead is the movie that put Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost on the map as bonafide stars. The story depicts the efforts of Shaun (Pegg) and his friend Ed (Frost) to survive a zombie apocalypse in London, shot through the prism of their unique brand of humour, resulting in countless references to other awesome zombie films, loads of gore, excellent foreshadowing, and of course, a Cornetto. Managing to deliver exciting action and uproarious humour, Shaun of the Dead delivers everything audiences want out of a movie: even if you're not typically a fan of zombie movies, the relentless laughs will likely win you over anyway. In an homage to George A. Romero, the odd sliver of social satire doesn't go amiss either. Simply put, this is the beginning of a beautiful trilogy, even if the other two never quite managed to out-do the original.
