Corman's monster films are so bad they're good but his series of Edgar Allan Poe films are a different matter. Also, his westerns like 'Five Guns West', 'Apache Woman' and 'Gunslinger' are worth a look.

Thanks for the heads up........I found a stack of his films for free on the wonderful Bing Video site yesterday....I saw "Pit & The Pendulum" at the cinema about five years ago and it was great--Vincent Price playing up to the camera was so funny....I have saved some of the Edgar Allan Poe films.....V P was a fantastic actor.

I have "Hamburger Hill" to see again.
I first saw it in New York when it was first released.

I am continuing my Roger Corman season tomorrow.

What I have found just by chance "The Beast Of Yucca Flats" (1961)
It stars Tor Johnson from the Ed Wood stable

I was impressed with Vietnam movie "Platoon"----This morning I have just seen the much lesser known "Hamburger Hill" which is much more graphic.
"Hamburger Hill"

From IMDb Roger Corman's films tend to be cheap and cheerful but this one's mostly just cheap. Mind you, the thin plot (baddies take a group of hostages) has been used for some $100,000,000 movies as well. Thirty minutes of talk, padded out with irrelevant songs.

This one is appallingly brilliant!

Hacksaw Ridge.

Really like it and the back story is quite remarkable.

Desmond Doss: The Real Story

On April 1, 1942, Desmond Doss joined the United States Army. Little did he realize that three and a half years later, he would be standing on the White House lawn, receiving the nation's highest award for his bravery and courage under fire. Of the 16 million men in uniform during World War II...

Field Punishment No. 1 (2014) - rarely ever show on network television, a great (anti) war film imho

 

[Napster]

Dune part one. Quite a spectacle

 

[cerbera45]

Quadrophenia (1979) - Sting was actually quite cool in his day

 

[BALDY]

Let's take a trip way back in time a trailer from "Pandora's Box" dancing (1929) A heady mix of the beautiful (and she really was!) Louise Brooks with added music by Depeche Mode.

Yours opinion please guys.

You prompted me to watch Corman's 'Masque of the Red Death' again. It has so much in common with Bergman's 'Seventh Seal'. Ironic that the latter is, rightly imo, regarded as one of the all time greats whereas 'Masque' is written off as a typical Corman cheapie.
