| Night of the living dead---black and white film where a group of people stuck in house fighting off zombie's, the only survivor is a black guy who gets shot by some redneck hunters
Dawn of the dead---the whole country is being overrun with zombie's, four people escape the city in helicopter and take refuge in shopping mall.
(this was re-made a couple of years ago)
Day of the dead---the world is overrun and a group of military and scientists trying to survive in underground bunker, the change here is that the people start falling apart and turning on each other which lets the zombie's in
Land of the dead---Survivors have come together in a walled and fenced city which keeps the zombie's out, but the city is controlled by a rich elite and most people eke out a live best they can.The difference here is the zombie's have gained a bit more intelligence, they learn to use tools etc, which makes them more dangerous.
