Dawn of the Dead (1978)

Two military men, a helicopter pilot, and his tv reporter girlfriend try to escape from the plague of living dead that is sweeping across the nation. Due to a shortage of gas and unsure as to where to go, the group lands on the roof of a mall and decides to temporarily take refuge.

The group decides to secure the mall so they will be safe. There is food, shelter, and supplies. There are even tvs to monitor broadcasts to see if anyone else is left alive and if there are any places for the living to gather.

A gang of bikers decides they want into the mall and when the group refuses, they break down the doors to get in. The zombies follow and the mall is overrun with them. The main characters put themselves in jeopardy by doing some stupid things, which is really annoying since they had done so well up to now.

This was my favorite living dead movie for years. After watching it again, it doesn't hold the same charm as it did before, but it's still a good zombie movie.
