On April 5, 1926, the incomparable Roger Corman was born! Without even a kernel of doubt, we proclaim that Corman is one of the most important figures in film history. The great man pioneered indie filmmaking, brought the works of several venerated foreign masters to the States, launched the careers of EVERYONE (Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, James Cameron, and Francis Ford Coppola are just a few of the graduates from the Corman Film School), and has produced/directed some of the most eXXXquisite genre movies that cinema has to offer. His Poe films are among the best Gothic thrillers in eXXXistence, skillfully marrying shock-show tactics with arthouse techniques. Corman’s best is divine, and his worst is just fine! The man is an absolute giant, and he will always be a true icon of the moving picture. Long live King Corman!
