Shaun (Simon Pegg) is a 30-something loser with a dull, easy existence. The perfect parallels of the opening scene with the events of the rest of the film, Pegg's desperately relatable protagonist, and Frost's crass screw-up friend, all make Shaun of the DeadВ endlessly rewatchable.

But there's a scrappy energy to Shaun of the Dead that makes it one of my favorite comedies to return to, pandemic or not. That frenetic style would eventually be Wright's calling card, and Shaun of the Dead would become the launchpad for the beloved Pegg and Frost-led Three Flavours Cornetto Trilogy, named after a brand of ice cream, with Hot Fuzz and The World's EndВ soon to follow. And the answer is laughably, hysterically simple: grab his best friend, his ex-girlfriend, and his mom, and head to the local pub.Д«ut what elevates Shaun of the DeadВ from its simple premise, and into cult movie status, is Wright and Pegg's razor sharp script and Wright's stylish and rhythmic aesthetic that the director would hone to be his most reliable comedic tool. A zombie-meets-romantic-comedy, Shaun of the DeadВ doesn't have any sweeping commentary on the dark depths of humanity that usually comes with the zombie genre, and instead focuses on what a regular dude would do in a zombie apocalypse. Despite its title -В a cheeky play on George Romero's zombie classic Dawn of the DeadВ - Shaun of the Dead has little to do with the 1978 horror film, apart from a subtle skewering of capitalism.
