TRAINSPOTTING, SUNSHINE, SHALLOW GRAVE, THE BEACH, and that CAMERON DIAZ ANGEL THING WHERE MCGREGOR LOOKS LIKE A GAY EX-MEMBER OF OASIS all OWN.

You forgot 28 Days Later. Actaully, I didn't love that as much a some people 28 Weeks Later was much better but Boyle only prod'd that not directed. What's up, Lex, no love for Freida Pinto??? She's hella cute.

I agree, 'Weeks' was better than 'Days' but largely because 'Days' collapsed in on itself in the third act (a common problem in Boyle movies).

I thought 28 Days was excellent, and the third act didn't bother me at all. It wasn't as good as the first two thirds, but it was still great and suspenseful, and character based (pretty uncommon for horror movies).

28 Weeks Later started out with such promise and then threw everything away for stupid bullshit and contrivances. It may as well have been Planter Terror 2.

They both own.

I saw this film last night. And it's amazing. Just a wonderful flick with all the elements. The film's credits were more fun to watch than practically any movie I saw this year.
