20 years ago today, "Shaun of the Dead," the world's first rom-zom-com, got its full theatrical release in the U.K. GQ talked to director Edgar Wright, star/co-writer Simon Pegg and co-star Nick Frost about George Romero, cricket-bat-swinging, record-hurling, and whether they'll ever get the band back together. This is the movie that started the Cornetto Trilogy. We want to know, which is your favorite of the three?

If you've not watched the Cornetto Trilogy Movies then, unfortunately, I do have to tell you that you've missed out on some of the finest cinema ever produced, or frankly is ever likely to be.

The good news is that you now know they exist and have a once in a lifetime opportunity to find out how amazing a body of work they truly are 🙂

How fucking lucky are you! 😀👍

Available on Amazon Prime UK (sadly not free) and other fine audio visual entertainment platforms.

They are probably on BitTorrent, I've not checked to be honest, but sometimes you do have to pay for quality.

@yurnidiot I guess it really is true, dogs can't look up.

"Box Trolls" is a film I strongly suspect you would enjoy.

(Massive cheese influence.)
