Cornetto - the nation decides

Fuzz > World > Shaun.

Fuzz is one of my favourite films ever. I watched it before Shaun and then found Shaun... kind of a downer, not as funny as I’d expected. Likewise I went into World with very low expectations and had them exceeded.

Bring on the hate. Oh - and chocolate, natch.

Ban request for Balla!

I think World's is probably better than I give it credit for. I saw Shaun and Fuzz at the cinema whereas my first experience of World's End was on DVD at home so the first impression was already diminished. Also having rewatched the first two movies so many times on DVD, watched all of the extras and commentaries and generally devoured anything else about them and Spaced before them so many times I think my expectations were just set too high - how could they possibly not produce another slice of fried gold?!

I've only ever watched it once so I should really give it another try

Shaun of the Dead and Strawberry

Strawberry every time.

I was disappointing when I first watched it and it's got better on every rewatch. The World's End is genuinely great, it's just not as immediate.

The real tragedy is some people still think Paul was the third movie in the cornetto trilogy. The World's End might not match up to Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz, but it's a damn sight better than Paul.

If any film not directed by Edgar Wright should be an honorary cornetto it's Attack the Block.

Obvioulsy having Frost and Pegg as the leads gives Paul a more clear association with the Cornetto trilogy but yeah it really shouldn't be talked about in the same breath.

Attack the Block is a great movie, it's a shame that Joe Cornish hasn't been able to create more projects since then.

Yeah I like it when you get to the bottom, turn it around and stick your tongue in the chocolate. Sometimes you get a bit of cream dripping in to your mouth from the other side at the same time which gives an interesting mix of flavours.

I need to watch this, wasn't interested until I found out he was the director

Yeah I knew about this but just haven't got round to it, I hear it's good but flawed?

Either way two movies in a decade is still not exactly prolific, I need more Cornballs action in my life!

I didn't think much of it, but some people seem to love it.

The big chocolatey bit at the bottom of the cone is really good.

Thus far I’m enjoying Truth Seekers more than 2/3 Cornetti.

I expect no less from you Laga.

Utter heathen.

Noticing the people saying strawberry is the best are also those who like Simon Pegg, so yes, all clearly mentalists.

Fair enough, I won't be rushing to watch it then!

If it doesn't taste of Listerine I'm not interested.

This is correct.

Shaun of the Dead = Hot Fuzz = World's End

Because they're all overrated and Pegg and Frost aren't even that funny
