Among Netflix's selection of undead horrors, one film stands out as the movie viewers return to time and again. This Brad Pitt-led blockbuster has quietly become a modern zombie classic, with fans praising its rewatchability years after its release.

Unlike traditional zombie fare focused on small-scale survival, World War Z delivers globe-trotting spectacle as Pitt's UN investigator Gerry Lane races to stop a rapidly-spreading pandemic.

The film's breakneck pacing and inventive action sequences - particularly the unforgettable Jerusalem wall breach - create an adrenaline rush that holds up on repeat viewings.

Critics initially divided over the film's PG-13 approach and CGI-heavy hordes, but audiences have embraced it as one of the most entertaining entries in the genre.

As one Rotten Tomatoes reviewer notes: "One of the best in its genre!!!! Loved again and again." Another praises: "A zombie apocalypse movie I can watch over and over again. Pitt puts on a dynamic performance in a very graceful fashion."

The film succeeds by balancing large-scale spectacle with intimate character moments. Pitt anchors the chaos with a grounded, emotional performance as a family man thrust into crisis.

Supporting players like Daniella Kertesz as tough-as-nails soldier Segen add depth beyond typical zombie movie cannon fodder. Even the undead themselves deliver what one reviewer calls "some of the best acting performances" through their terrifyingly coordinated swarms.

While purists might prefer the gritty realism of 28 Days Later or social commentary of Train to Busan, World War Z carves its own niche as a zombie blockbuster that actually improves with repeat watches.

The tightly-constructed set pieces - from a nerve-wracking airplane sequence to the claustrophobic WHO lab finale - maintain their tension even when you know what's coming.

As streaming audiences continue discovering (and rediscovering) the film, its reputation only grows. In an era of disposable content, *World War Z* proves some thrills are worth experiencing again and again. Whether you're a zombie aficionado or just seeking a white-knuckle ride, this is one Netflix selection that truly earns its replay value.

World War Z is available to watch on Netflix.
