1. I first saw this on VHS in the mid 80's.
2. I had seen stills and read a bit about it in a horror movie book that I had.
3. A bit lukewarm the first time I saw it.
4. I have seen it probably 6-8 times since that first viewing.
5. It was the first of the Romero "dead" movies that I had seen, and probably the first modern zombie film I had seen. I think prior to this, I had only seen older zombie films like "I Walked With A Zombie".
I think I wasn't so impressed on my first viewing because I was used to (and expecting) a film more like these older films - something more plot-driven. However, on subsequent viewings I have come to really like this film, and it is my favourite "modern" zombie film, and probably my favourite zombie film.
