The sense of smell is very powerful for bringing back memories.
Great thread!
Underrated:
Day of the Dead (is it?)
Cannibal Holocaust ('cause I'm sick)
Fulchi's Zombi
Trick 'r Treat (a new favorite of mine)
Magic (totally creeped me out, damn ventriloquist's dummies!)
and more I can't think of right now.
SLiTHER
and to a very small degree- Drag Me To Hell. I know the critics loved it, but most people hate it. I guess they pefer their PG-13 horror to have pretty CW cast members and retarded japanese girls with black hair.
Also The Hitcher Remake is on the worst movies ever made by a human being. Just saying. The original is great though.

Quarantine off the top of my head.
Regarding the Romero films, I agree that Day of the Dead is pretty under-appreciated, but I feel that Diary deserved the vitriol aimed at it. I couldn't believe how bad it was when I watched it. Maybe I can't give it a fair analysis, though, seeing as how you have to compare it to the other films Romero made. But I just can't treat it as a Brett Ratner movie when it isn't. I'm not even sure if I want to see his newest one.
We are both probably gonna get blasted for this, but I agree. Quarantine was great.
Both Diary of the Dead and Quarantine did the mocumentary/zombie thing and I actually think Quarantine did it better.
A hybrid rabies if I remember right. Kind of made it a cool spin.
In 28 Days Later (another great movie) it's a "virus" called rage.
Technically neither of them are zombie movies, but thats only because of semsntics. They both function as zombie movies, and Quarantine more so, because the antagonists are slow moving like a zombie should be IMO.
Not really semantics at all. Both are missing that key aspect that they need to be zombies, dying and coming back to life as the undead. Zombie fanatics tend to take offense when films like the above are labeled as such because it's intentional, shameless, misleading hype to capitalize on the cult genre. Interesting tidbit, in the original Quarantine, .REC (Quarantine was the U.S. remake), the antagonists were demon possessed.
