N Is For...Night of the Living Dead (1968)

From http://www.cinemasterpieces.com/92010a/night3.jpg

Dir. George A. Romero

A legendary film. And its amazing to think that its lead to zombie board games having their own stand in my local Waterstones bookstore when the origins of it is a film this sober and deathly serious. So much has happened in this form of horror cinema - Italian interpretations, porn versions, shot-on-video films in someone's backyard, and any profession being zombified - that to see its beginning is to see a film from an entirely different reality, something unique again when other films and pop culture have taken its ideas in such drastically different directions. For such a small movie, its done a lot for the history of the entirety of horror let alone cinema.
