Night of the Living Dead (1968) [Special Edition] [DVD]
2.  Night of the Living Dead (1968) [Special Edition] [DVD] DVD ~ Duane Jones
The list author says:
  "1968. Romero’s debut, the film that kicked off the genre. There’s about six different versions of the film, and 1000s of DVD issues. This is the one is the best – not perfect but the best for now."

The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue [1974] [DVD]
3.  The Living Dead At The Manchester Morgue [1974] [DVD] DVD ~ Christina Galbo
The list author says:
  "1974. A cash-in on Romero but a smart one, lifting his idea of zombies as living-dead-cum-cannibals and setting it in dour, mid-seventies Britain. In colour. Genuinely horrific."
Used & New from: £7.99

Dawn Of The Dead [1978] [1979] [DVD]
4.  Dawn Of The Dead [1978] [1979] [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "1978. Romero’s sequel and still the best zombie movie thanks to its epic scope and sensitivity of characterization. In fact, really more a disaster movie than horror. This is the best R2 version."

Dawn of the Dead (Un-Cut) [DVD] [1980]
5.  Dawn of the Dead (Un-Cut) [DVD] [1980] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "One of several DVDs claiming to be Romero’s director’s cut. They’re not, they’re just a longer edit he previewed before trimming off 15 minutes. The film he released IS the directors cut."

Zombi: Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1978] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
6.  Zombi: Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1978] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "Romero did the US/UK cut of Dawn Of The Dead while producer Dario Argento assembled this completely separate cut (new title, less talk, more action, more of Goblin's music) for European distribution."

Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
7.  Dawn of the Dead [DVD] [1980] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ David Emge
The list author says:
  "And this lavish R1 set has all three versions. The advantage is that if you are going to re-watch it, at least you get a different version each time, eh? Eh? Oh please yourselves . . ."

Zombie 2 [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
8.  Zombie 2 [DVD] [1979] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC] DVD ~ Lucio Fulci
The list author says:
  "1979. Rewritten and re-titled to act as unofficial prequel to Zombi, Lucio Fulci’s movie is pure grindhouse compared to Dawn, but still revered amongst fans for having the best zombies ever."

Zombie Flesh Eaters [1980] [DVD]
9.  Zombie Flesh Eaters [1980] [DVD] DVD ~ Tisa Farrow
The list author says:
  "The same film, but under its more famous US/UK title. Several titles, several DVD reissues but “Zombi 2: 25th Anniversary” is the ONLY remastered AND uncut version. If you like that kinda thing . . ."

City of the Living Dead [DVD] [1981]
10.  City of the Living Dead [DVD] [1981] DVD ~ Christopher George
The list author says:
  "1981. Fulci again, but nothing to do with Romero’s living dead or Zombi 2. Like most the non-Romero films on this list, it's a bit nasty for my tastes. I get a kick from zombies, not sadism."
Used & New from: £1.69

The Return of the Living Dead [DVD]
11.  The Return of the Living Dead [DVD] DVD ~ Clu Gulager
The list author says:
  "1985. Night Of The Living Dead screenwriter John Russo started a rival franchise with this sequel to the “real” events behind the movie. Basically a comedy (Ghostbusters meets Repo Man) but still fun."
£24.95   Used & New from: £5.24

Day Of The Dead [1985] [DVD]
12.  Day Of The Dead [1985] [DVD] DVD ~ Lori Cardille
The list author says:
  "1986. Romero’s third zombie film, talky but necessary – after two movies it’s logical that the survivors would be holed up safe by now and too busy fighting each other to worry about zombies outside."
Used & New from: £9.23

Return of The Living Dead 2 [DVD] [1988]
13.  Return of The Living Dead 2 [DVD] [1988] 
The list author says:
  "1987. The next instalment in Russo’s franchise (there’s five to date). He and Romero struck a deal - if it has “Dead” in the title it’s Romero, if it has “Return Of The Living Dead” it’s Russo."
£3.49   Used & New from: £1.85

Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 [DVD]
14.  Zombie Flesh Eaters 2 [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "1988. And Fulci weighs in with the next instalment in his cash-in franchise. Official or cash-in, all these movies use Romero's "zombie rules" and all tie in loosely with his original Night'."

Night of the Living Dead (1990) [DVD]
15.  Night of the Living Dead (1990) [DVD] DVD ~ Tony Todd
The list author says:
  "1990. Romero et al never made a cent from the original so hired Tom Savini to remake it. It's got better sets, better zombies, better actors, but lacks the passion to bring it alive."
Used & New from: £0.93

Night of the Living Dead (30th Anniversary Edition) [DVD]
16.  Night of the Living Dead (30th Anniversary Edition) [DVD] DVD ~ Duane Jones
The list author says:
  "1999. In another attempt to get cash from the film, Russo added new scenes and an electronic score for the 30th anniversary. The results are as subtle – and futile – as Anne Robinson’s facelifts."
£14.99   Used & New from: £1.97

Children Of The Living Dead [2001] [DVD]
17.  Children Of The Living Dead [2001] [DVD] DVD ~ Tom Savini
The list author says:
  "2001. Okay now even I'm getting cross-eyed with continuity . . . This is Russo's sequel to the 30th anniversary revision of Night'. This isn't just pants, it's sheer bum gravy."

Dawn Of The Dead (The Directors Cut) [DVD] [2004]
18.  Dawn Of The Dead (The Directors Cut) [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Sarah Polley
The list author says:
  "2004. Again nothing to do with Romero, this loose remake is . . . Good golly, this is actually a great movie! Great as in "transcends it's genre”, great as in . . . as good as the original?"

Shaun of The Dead [DVD] [2004]
19.  Shaun of The Dead [DVD] [2004] DVD ~ Simon Pegg
The list author says:
  "2004. And here’s another great movie! The magic of Shaun’ is that it’s NOT a spoof - it’s a straight zombie movie with jokes. The biggest being that the 'twentysomething' leads are all pushing 40."
£3.69   Used & New from: £0.09

Land of the Dead: Directors Cut with Limited Edition theatrical poster (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) [DVD]
20.  Land of the Dead: Directors Cut with Limited Edition theatrical poster (Exclusive to Amazon.co.uk) [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "2005. Dawn', Shaun' ,28 Days Later, Resident Evil . . . Romero’s third sequel was judged a little flat in comparison but retains an emotional resonance and moral complexity lacking in its imitators."

The list author says:
  "2005. Yes, the rip-offs keep coming. Claims to be a sequel to Day’ but is actually a prequel to the events of Night'. Keep your cash for Romero's fifth movie, the gonzo-filmed Diary Of The Dead . . ."

The Plague of The Zombies [DVD]
22.  The Plague of The Zombies [DVD] 
The list author says:
  "1966. One of Hammer's very finest, and the best pre-Romero zombie flick. Buy this, the four Romeros, Dawn remake, Shaun, Manchester Morgue and Zombi 2. That's all you need."
