ZOMBIELAND: THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH

Little Rock: Who's Bill Murray?
Tallahassee: ...I've never hit a kid before...
I mean, that's like asking who Gandhi is.
Little Rock: Who's Gandhi?

This is by far the most clever and well written zombie movie ever made. In fact, among movies that start with a Z, this movie is the highest grossing ever. Box office gold. It's a post apocalyptic world, where zombies have taken over and zombies are notorious for not cleaning up after themselves. We meet Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) who is one of the few non-zombie survivors. He has survived so long because he has developed a 32 point plan for how to protect and defend oneself against the zombies. Along his quest to get back home to see if his family has survived, he runs into Tallahassee (a delightful Woody Harrelson) who is a buff, gun toting zombie killer.
