We've already done Hitchcock, Cronenberg and Carpenter, so it seems unfair not to have a thread for gorgeous George.

1. Martin
2. Dawn of the Dead
3. NotLD
4. Jack's Wife/Season of the Witch
5. The Crazies

I think a better poll would be "top 5 worst romero films", there'd be tons of competition there. I'm going to personally vote for his half of two evil eyes. Or Diary of the Dead. Can't decide.

Anyway:
1. dawn of the dead
2. martin
3. crazies
4. creepshow

Is all I really like.

If you've not seen Jack's Wife, you really should. I'd be surprised if you didn't like it if you're a fan of Martin.

Generally though, yes. Romero lost the plot big time in the 90s and has never found it since.

I've never even HEARD OF "Jack's Wife".

Oh, right, I actually kinda enjoy parts of "Bruiser" but it falls apart.

I think that was it's UK title. In the US it was called Season of the Witch.

It's a strange film. Not really a horror film at all in many ways. Difficult to describe. A sort of feminist Devil Rides Out. Very odd. Definitely worth a watch.
