George Romero has a new zombie movie, Land of the Dead opening soon.
June 24th. Impatiently waiting.
Sweet lumpy minion, you're the only one that understands. Probably 'cause I haven't sucked the brain out of you yet.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
How many "____ of the Dead" movies have there been?
How about Dead of the Dead - in which a government experiment releases a cloud of radioactivity that has odd effects on the attendees at a Greatful Dead show....

Shuffling hordes with blank stares and unusual appetites caused by a cloud of gas. They could just screen concert footage and say it was a new fictional movie!

OK, how about a zombie movie... from the zombies' point of view?
Maybe a group of zombies who are fearful that there may be real live humans among them. Or a tender coming-of-age flick about a group of zombie friends who go on a road trip, searching for the mythical "perfect brain."

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Any dream double features you would put together?
Well, two great movies which DO NOT taste great together are Taxi Driver and Breakfast at Tiffany's

How many "____ of the Dead" movies have there been? j
If you define them strictly by Romero, 3, but soon to be 4:
Night of the Living Dead / Dawn of the Dead / Day of the Dead and the forthcoming Land of the Dead.
The Tom Savini remake of Night... was Romero approved, and a pretty decent movie. It worked some nice twists on the original, and had some good actors on board (Tony Todd, anyone?).
I don't know if the Dawn... remake was approved, but I've heard many good things about it, and, again, a kickass cast.
The "Return of the Living Dead" movies were tangentially related in that the co-writer of Night... did the first, but have no official connection.

If I only had a brain...
Casablanca / Play It Again, Sam
Possibly in the opposite order, so that you end with the better film.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

very cathartic

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Say Anything and Grosse Point Blank.
Mmm.
