Farewell Roger, thank you for EVERYTHING.

[@sithmaster4305]

I'm not that deep of a cinephile enough to have seen most of the dude's movies but his credits speak for themselves and his students as well. Dude deserves all the respect.

[@TJDious]

Even if you haven't seen a lot of his work you've certainly heard of plenty of them.

[@ericfelds6291]

Corman is 92, both of his sons are litigiously suing him, and he’s STILL MAKING FILMS. Complete legend.

[@nathanbabiuk6286]

He is 96

[@Yungbeck]

I'm currently watching ALL of his movies, I'm on 1957 now. I love Corman!

[@roedalacket]

Haha.

[@ColdIronJosh]

I met the man several years ago at a film festival and had a chance to chat with him briefly. He's a lovely man and a joy to listen to. Off all the film people I've had a chance to meet over the years, he's probably my favorite.

[@brianoconnell6459]

It never fails to surprise me that he started so many stars onto their careers, and special effects artists we take for granted today, such as James Cameron.

[@GuestZer0]

Corman hates being called "The B Movie King", but I think he should wear that title with pride. People genuinely love his work!

[@Xarfax321]

Nothing wrong with Bmovies. B movies usually have a bad rap because of films like Sharknado. But to me B movies just mean "not A-list movies"

[@zionix15432]

i think "b movie" holds a different meaning now than it did in his era

[@chitlitlah]

Better than being the king of C-movies.

[@donnaangel6694]

He prefers king of exploitation Cinema.

[@fernandomaron87]

My biggest idol in cinema, i don't care what people think about his movies, he is the man, a true artist.

No matter if you love, or hate Roger Corman's movies, there is no denying the mark he's left on decades of cinema. 👍

[@kyleshiflet9952]

I absolutely love his works and you're right no denying his legacy on the cinema

[@garinsparks7041]

Who hates Roger's Movies???

[@THE_VictoryPictures]

I still get surprised whenever I see his name pop up in films. I watched Dementia 13 a few days ago for my Halloween marathon and it was a delight to see his name in there, even though I wasn’t that much of a fan of the film itself. Hail to the king… of B-horror!

[@geoffreyblakeley5601]

Corman has probably trained more successful actors and directors then any film school ever could. He saw the potential in people and was willing to take chances.

[@elijahbegay7608]

R.I.P. Roger Corman(1926-2024) “King of B-Movies”

[@kirbymarchbarcena]

The US cinema should give this legend the highest honor they could give while he's still alive...he's more than 90 years old and still strong.

[@orius03]

6:26 is the most important part of this video. If there is one thing Corman deserves credit for, it's all the people in Hollywood he gave a break to. No matter how much of a cheapskate Corman may have been, no matter how much junk he may have made, the man recognized talent, and gave it the chance it deserved.

[@EpicGamerWinXD69]

You made my nervous, thankfully Roger Corman isn’t dead.

[@FillBar]

Ed Wood got Bela Lugosi, Corman got Karloff. This could have been an amazing crossover.

[@childofthe80s1981]

I always enjoy James' take on anything you can tell he really enjoys what he does which is important.

[@Loanwolf387]

Thanks to this video I immediately after found “Corman’s World” on KZbin to rent and am still watching it. Great Doc! Want to find the “Intruder” next. Sounds to be a significant piece of cinema history.

[@Duragizer8775]

Corman's one of my favourite filmmakers. His '50s monster flicks do nothing for me, but I was won over by his Poe films. They, along with _Bride of Frankenstein_ , are the pictures that convinced me cinema is a legitimate artform.

[@zickykane5206]

RIP to the Legend. 98 years of awesome.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

Corman unwittingly gave so much to my favorite show, Mystery Science Theater 3000, and its spinoff, RiffTrax.

[@papermaker107]

October is the best month for TRUE cinemassacre content!

[@TheSaltydog07]

Paper, watch the original "The Haunting." No blood. No gore, and it will scare the you-know-what out of you.

[@perfectly_not_confusing]

Thanks James for all the years of great content! Being a fan since the beginning!

[@wastedtalent666]

[@austins.2495]

I wish M. Night Shyamalan would have gone full Corman and made like 100 crazy movies in his unique style

[@chasehedges6775]

It's great to see everyone is in the Halloween mood.

[@UsurpersAndAssassins]

George Corman. Cannon Films. Italian Cinema. Those were the best days of Hollywood, when films were fun and entertaining.

[@Psmgamer]

I remember watching Carnosaur as a kid in the 90's. That's the only Roger Corman movie I watched though I definitely want to check his movies from the 50's.

I like these kind of videos where James talks about something he's passionate about.

[@kevinrhea7332]

Me too , or the other side of the coin when we get some real anger

[@Voykod]

@@kevinrhea7332 Yes. Anger or frustration. But this is a welcomed type of entry on the catalog, even if it seems they don't get that many views.

[@OuterGalaxyLounge]

The king of KZbin monster movie fandom honors another king. Bravo. I also grew up on Corman's cheapies going way back to the horror-host shows of the 1970s.

[@AlyxxTheRat]

I have so much respect for Roger Corman. His body of work is legendary.

[@lonelyone]

James kept talking about him in the past tense, but I was surprised to see he's still alive and kicking at 96.

[@synthnation9857]

man, I've been enjoying and interesting in B, low budget, exploitation films a lot lately. I always heard the name Roger Corman when I look in into the b movie scope, now I even more surprise that he was the one that inspired a lot of people in the filmaking business. such a great video from you James, I always love it when you talk about movies & stuff around it, it's always inspire me :)

[@breakabletape]

Excellent. I'm loving this year's Monster Madness.

[@no_one_from_nowhere]

Gotta love monster madness. My favorite show of James’ next to board James.

[@morgastic23]

Sincerely, thank you for shedding light on this amazing director and producer I've just never heard of before. Your video definitely made me want to check out his movies, and it just amazes me how much influence he has while not being a household name. He definitely deserves more recognition for the stuff he's made.

[@gooneybird808]

Hey that was a great video I didn’t know much about him until now. Thanks man!

[@UndeadNerdT800]

[@olpa1193]

Great tribute! As others have mentioned, listening to James talking about things he loves, no matter how obscure is pure youtube gold

[@benkylo8015]

Great video! Roger Corman deserves a spotlight. Not only did he pave the way for countless to follow but he made legit great films, especially the Poe cycle ones!

[@RichieDigs]

One of the most impressive things about Corman is that he never lost money on a movie.

[@iancamarillo]

Great video. About to do the biggest binge ever on Rogers work.

[@HenrythePaleoGuy]

Corman really helped to inspire my imagination. Great video covering him and his projects. :)

[@frankenoise]

In Corman's biography he states the only film he ever lost money on was The Intruder. Just one film! The man was amazing!

[@faenethlorhalien]

Man, I really hope he gets to watch this.

[@Aussie1276]

Death Race is one of my favourite movies and Corman is one of my favourites. Thank you for this

[@kevinkite3418]

More tributes should be made while the person is still alive so they can see their own tribute. I hope Corman see this.

[@SpookyouKnowIt23]

I love this trend you're doing of paying tribute to people /BEFORE/ something happens

[@MySelfMyCeliumMyCell]

I absolutely love those videos. You helped me discover a lot of really cool movies I wouldn't otherwise. Thanks dude!

[@darthck5066]

I got freaked out for a brief period and thought Corman had passed!

Great video James! R.I.P. Mr Corman, Thank you for a lifetime of entertainment and for making great childhood memories for us all!

[@kri249]

I absolutely admire the guy who is frugal with his budget. It's far more impressive to hear how much a producer saved than how much they spent.

[@The_Pickle-Man]

Watching this instead of the dozens of "Cinemassacre Bad" videos. James is an inspiration to me, just as Corman is an inspiration to him.

[@jamesleese909]

Roger Coreman is legendary, thanks for great vid!

[@richardaiken1]

I showed my friend Twice Dead (1988) the other day and he loved it which lead him down the schlock rabbit hole that is home to Corman and his greatness. Gonna send this video to him, next.

[@Kwalk1989]

Great director and great monster madness episode!

[@HieMan-g1n]

The only two 50s sci fi directors still alive. Roger Corman and Bert I. Gordon.

[@bloodrunsclear]

The absolute king of B-Movies. William Castle began the royalty class of genre flicks, but Corman defined it for decades

[@JesseH76]

I've been really enjoying your Monster Madness series this year. Thank you, James.

[@filmbuster2619]

Cinemassacre really had to scare me like that with the title. I'm glad to see Roger get more and more appreciation all these years later

[@Scripture-Man]

James I have a request! You remember "Action 52"? There was an even crappier compilation for the ZX Spectrum called "Cassette 50". The worst collection of games ever released. It would be HILARIOUS to see you review it!

[@dustyhurd424]

Thanks for making this one James. You nailed it, especially at the end.

[@TheWisestWizards]

The story of Roger Corman really makes me wish I went to film school and surrounded myself with people who wanted to film anything.

[@Kunigun]

Absolute Legend

[@o_dubski]

This video is especially important now, thank you for putting this together

[@MirrorRiker]

James is so modest. He listed a lot of great film makers who we might not have, but he didn't list himself. I'd be willing to bet, that without Roger Corman we might not ever have AVGN. And what would the internet look like then?

[@LucyLioness100]

Corman’s Poe cycle is probably my favorites of his works. “House of Usher” is probably my favorite of them, but Red Death is a close 2nd with The Raven

[@otakubullfrog1665]

I fondly remember back when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was airing and you could watch them riff on an old Roger Corman movie, then flip through the channels and end up watching a new Roger Corman movie. Those were fun times to watch cable.
