Leaving April 1

Roger Corman, the director, producer, and all-around force of nature who died last May at the age of 98, was not only a crackerjack filmmaker in his own right, but could boast, more than any other single individual, of having been the incubator of New Hollywood, opening the door for the “movie brats” who would change American cinema to make their first inroads in the industry. Here you’ll find films by Corman alongside those that he produced by such famous names—or, at the time many of these films were made, soon-to-be-famous—as Jonathan Demme, Peter Bogdanovich, Penelope Spheeris, and Joe Dante. The King of the Bs is dead… Long live the King!
