MTV.com ran a story today about movies that prepare you for the apocolypse. Below are some exerts from the article or you can read the whole thing here
"'If something looks dead, it probably isn't.' Example: “28 Days Later”
Given that humanity is on the brink of extinction and the dead have started to rise from the grave, it is highly likely that you will come across some bodies after the zombie apocalypse has taken place. There is no way to really prepare yourself for this unsavory sight, but be cautious all the same, especially when multiple bodies are in the same place. Just look at poor Jim (Cillian Murphy) at the beginning of “28 Days Later.” Guy comes across a church filled with bodies, thinks maybe some poor soul is alive in there, and says hello. Nothing alive in there, but there sure were a ton of freaking zombies. As in life, so it is in the zombie apocalypse: stay the hell away from corpses.
'You must have the tools as well as the talent.' Example: “Shaun of the Dead”
It is widely known and accepted that the only way to effectively stop zombies from eating all your goodies is to destroy their heads. Whether your zombies are supernatural lumberers or the speedy scientific accidents of the modern age, blowing up their noggins is the only universal method of keeping them dead. Remember though: no matter how cool your idea for an implement of head-destruction is, make sure your choice is realistic. Do not, as Shaun (Simon Pegg) does, use LPs. Records are only good at destroying zombie heads conceptually. Get a sledgehammer already."
