Night of the Living Dead
Romero’s stunningly subversive horror milestone is more than just the mother of all zombie movies; it’s a still-shocking vision of Vietnam-era America consuming itself. The oft-imitated premise—a band of strangers crawl the walls of a farmhouse while the flesh-eating undead approach—is transformed into a canny (and ultimately chilling) commentary on race by the casting of Duane Jones, the film’s sole black actor, as the hero.
