CORMAN'S WORLD: EXPLOITS OF A HOLLYWOOD REBEL 2010 (ANCHOR BAY)

Hands down the greatest documentary I have ever seen!! This 90 minute film covers the career of Roger Corman from his early days to present days films such as Dinoshark.
Corman is my main inspiration for films. It was George Romero who inspired me to make films, but it was Corman who taught me to make them cheap. If only people made films cheap and good today.
Many, many people are talked to including Allen Arkush, Joe Dante, the late David Carradine, Pam Grier and others and they have nothing but praise for the man and his movies. Jack Nicolson is somewhat emotional as he talks about his career with Corman, and the list of people Roger started in the business reads like a Who's Who of filmmakers and actors.
If you see one film this year, make it this one and learn how films used to be made and what makes them so damn entertaining after all these years.
Corman and his wife Julie still produce movies such as Dinoshark, Sharktopus and others.
Roger is the man and NO ONE can or will ever come close to him in scope of filmmaking. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
