I didn’t know he was alive, he must have been pleased at the modern fame he achieved in recent decades.

RIP. I may have to scare up some of his movies. The last thing I saw of him was his cameo in “Apollo 13.”

Two of his films I enjoyed were “The Wasp Woman,” and “Bloody Mama.” R.I.P.

Lots of successful directors got their start working for Corman.

Famous for always being under budget and ahead of schedule. A rarity in Hollyweird.

The end of an era. So many great weirdo movies done only because he could make them fast and cheap.

RIP

MST3K riffed quite a few of Corman’s movies. “Viking Women” might be my favorite.

Eat My Dust!, 1976 Corman-produced film starring Ron Howard. If this movie didn't launch the "hot pursuit" genre that gave us Smokey and the Bandit and The Dukes of Hazzard, it certainly helped!

His Dunwitch Horror(1970) was so bad I wanted two hours of my life back. It had none of the horror of the story by H.P. Lovecraft. A real waste of time.

Corman always said all his movies made money and he actually did some A list pictures also. Jack Nicholson said leaned everything about the movie business from Roger, even down to negotiating contracts and I read Jack always did his own contracts.
