I think the Dead franchise is very good. Strong social criticism in a comic-gore sort of way. Land of the Dead almost killed me with how mundane it was when I saw it on the big screen, but that was before I'd seen the others. I think it's decent; evolution of zombies - and this time they're far more charming and emotive than the actual humans.
Those films have always been about the human interactions anyway; how society reacts to outside panic. Racial tension, gender issues, etc. Alas, they never show up in academic courses.
