It's Dawn of the Dead... and I sometimes resent that film for relegating Night of the Living Dead to second or third status - I think NOTLD is one of the great masterworks of American Cinema - for me it's up there with Grapes of Wrath and Citizen Kane - everytime I see it I'm astonished by what Romero accomplished on a shoestring bugdet, the various subtexts hidden underneath the surface and the sheer balls for a regional film maker to cast a Black man as the hero... Amazing film.
