Here is another movie that I discovered purely by accident, and could not be happier that I did. One lonely night, looking through the shelves at Blockbuster, I happened upon this and rented it.
This is the story of a lovable loser named Shaun, his ever present friend Ed and his girlfriend Liz. As Shaun tries to be the man Liz needs, while staying the man-child friend Ed needs, he keeps screwing up his relationship with Liz. This leads to her dumping him. The next day, resolved to win her back, also happens to be the beginning of the Zombie apocalypse. The hilarity ensues as Shaun tries to get his mom, Ed and Liz to safety.
What works about this movie is everything. Simon Peg is a huge horror nerd, so there are many outright, the movie title for one, and even more tongue in cheek nods to what came before in the genre. There is also a great social commentary that runs through the movie, where you can see they are trying to show that the human race has become little more than zombies already. This is a perfect fil for anyone that has a sense of humor and likes zombies/horror movies.
