"Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" is a comedy film from 2010 directed by Edgar Wright and based on the Scott Pilgrim series of novels by Bryan Lee O'Malley. Scott Pilgrim (played by Michael Cera) is the bass guitarist for a band called "Sex Bob-omb". He falls hopelessly in love with Ramona Flowers (played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead) but learns that before he can date her he has to defeat all seven of her evil ex-boyfriends who are out to kill him. This comic-book style comedy with its video-game style fighting scenes has something for adults and children alike.
"Shaun of the Dead" (2004) was also written by Simon Pegg and Edgar Wright and, again, stars Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. The plot concerns Shaun, a 29 year old who is stuck in a rut in his zombie existence and is trying in vain to sort out his life. After a series of unusual happenings and strange commotions one day it appears that the dead have risen and are shuffling around the streets attacking people. Shaun and his flatmate Ed arm themselves as best they can with vinyl records and a cricket bat and battle their way across London to rescue Liz, Shauns girlfriend and other loved ones. This is comedy, action, horror and romance all rolled into one!

Triple bill of comedy films from director Edgar Wright. In 'Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World' (2010) Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a 22-year-old slacker who plays bass for garage band Sex Bob-omb and is casually dating a pretty but vacuous high school girl. When the drop-dead gorgeous Ramona V. Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) rollerblades into his life, Scott falls head over heels for her, but there's a major catch: Ramona's seven evil ex-boyfriends stand in his way, each one more violent and malicious than the last and all equally intent on obliterating her new love interest. In 'Hot Fuzz' (2007) the arrest record of a hotshot young London cop (Simon Pegg) puts the whole metropolitan force to shame, causing his superiors to shunt him to a rural posting hoping they've heard the last of him. The sleepy hamlet he's posted to, however, behind all the lace curtain politeness, is a hotbed of grisly murder and vigilantism. His diligence and character sit ill with the locals - all except the Sergeant's layabout son (Nick Frost) who's a huge fan of the cop buddy movie genre. The pair bond and end up taking on the town in a guns-blazing, granny-kicking, rocket-launching gore-fest in the interests of ridding the town of a sinister cult of pensioners who're dedicated to keeping order at any cost. Finally, in the zom-com 'Shaun of the Dead' (2004), Shaun (Pegg) is a useless but likeable thirty-something who works in an electronics shop in Crouch End. He doesn't get much respect from his fellow staff, even though he's standing in as temporary boss; his girlfriend Liz (Kate Ashfield) has had enough of his lack of direction and penchant for downing pints in the local pub; and he doesn't get on with his stepdad (Bill Nighy). Things get worse when the living dead make their appearance, threatening to spread their zombie curse across the nation. Will Shaun be able to rise from his sofa to save the lives of the two women he loves - Liz and his dear old mum?
