Still, dramatic effect is probably the best bet.
In most other movies, and in games, zombies crave all human flesh, they rarely get at the brains in fact. One other explanation I can think of is that the brain has a lot of chemicals and processes running through it, so zombies might crave one of those compounds, not present anywhere else in the body.
"why brains?"
"to make the pain go away..."
"Pain? pain of what?"
"the pain.. of being dead"

No clue about the brains, but I think it came from Night of the Living Dead.
Bzzt. Kal got it right. In the original "Night of the Living Dead" (and as far as I know, the remake), the Zombies didn't say anything, nor were they specifically interested in brains. They just ate people.

How.... Tarquinn.... uughhhhhh:
Have you ever tried eating a human brain? Perhaps it is the most delicious type of food on this planet, and when you die, and become one with the universe you realise that. Unfortunately you are dead then, and can only regret not having eaten brains before. Unless you become a zombie, that is.
... Damn good.

I have eaten scrambled eggs and pig brains. It was okay. Kind of an odd mix of textures, though nothing in the taste of the brain was offensive or anything. Sort of like eating eel; once you get past the fact that it feels like you're eating solid fat, you can make pretty yummy things out of it.

Oddly enough, there's a disease that developed and spread predominantly through the consumption of human brains by cannibals.
There was an episode of X-Files based around that.

Even weirder is that a certain number of people(including people outside the populations of cannibals) are immune to the disease. Makes you wonder what our ancestors were up to.

The thought totally squicks me out!
