Well I think we owe a debt of gratitude towards this man so I'm starting a thread about him. I wrote a ten page paper on Corman for film genre. I love the man's body of work, as both director and producer. My favorite films of his are The Pit and the Pendulum and Frankenstein Unbound (both as director) and Summer Camp Nightmare and Deathrace 2000 (both as producer).

"In another lifetime, Roger Corman could easily have been Henry Ford. He could easily have been Wilbur Wright. He tinkers, he invents things, he loves invention, he loves improvisation, he loves opportunistic, mechanistic experiment. If you can regard him from a little distance, what you see is a tremendous native American lyricism that's not very far removed from the great eccentric American entrepreneurs."-

Thom Mount, producer.

After all, he made "A Hundred Movies in Hollywood and Never Lost a Dime."
