Regarded as one of Edgar Wright's funniest movies, Shaun of the Dead works well as a zombie apocalyptic spoof but delivers the feel of a zombie horror effect with a comic twist in every scene.

“Florals? For Spring?…”
There is no spec of doubt that Meryl Streep was destined to play the role ruthless Miranda Priestly, editor-in-chief of Runway magazine. The Devil Wears Prada was spearheaded by Streep's sophisticated sarcasm, and her calm yet powerful delivery of this line is one of her best moments in the film.
