mising to dig a tunnel through which the cave-dwellers can escape. They find the

Night Of The Living Dead (1968)
Chaos descends upon the world as the brains of the recently deceased become inex
plicably reanimated, causing the dead to rise and feed on human flesh. Speculati
on rests on a radiation-covered NASA satellite returning from Venus, but it only
remains a speculation. Anyone who dies during the crisis of causes unrelated to
brain trauma will return as a flesh-eating zombie, including anyone who has bee
n bitten by a zombie. The only way to destroy the zombies is to destroy the brai
n. As the catastrophe unfolds, a young woman visiting her father's grave takes r
efuge in a nearby farmhouse, where she is met by a man who protects her and barr
icades them inside. They both later discover people hiding in the basement, and
they each attempt to cope with the situation. Their only hope rests on getting s
ome gasoline from a nearby pump into a truck that is running on empty, but this
requires braving the hordes of ravenous walking corpses outside. When they final
ly put their plans into action, panic and personal tensions only add to the terr
or as they try to survive.

The Harder They Come (1972)
A poor Jamaican, a 1970s anti-hero, tries to make it with a hit record but finds

He turns to dealing marijuana and runs afoul of the law. As an underground fugit
ive, he becomes a political hero. An outstanding reggae soundtrack underscores t
he plot, in particular the lines from the title song: "I'd rather be a free man
in my grave than living as a puppet or a slave."
