“You don’t make a cult film, the audience makes a cult film.” Beautifully said.

Today's filmmakers could have, and can, learn a lot from him. He never made the same movie twice and made a fortune while giving unknowns their big break. RIP.

I'm sure Vincent Price was there to greet him. 🙂

Thank You, Roger Corman, none of the classic Horror movies would never exist without you. RIP.

The great Roger Corman, who spent over half his 98 years giving movie audiences pleasure.

RIP Roger Corman, his legacy endures!

Movie History as we know it would not be the same without him, the number of actors/directors who became legends themselves that got their start because of Roger Corman is extraordinary. While he was a great filmmaker of pictures that would become cult classics, he was also so much more to cinema. There will never be another one like him. Rest in peace.

It was because of Corman's Edgar Allen Poe film adaptations where I first saw Vincent Prince onscreen in 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. Thank you, Roger Corman. Rest in peace.

My very first interview of my very first San Diego Comic-con, I had the pleasure of sitting and interviewing Roger Corman. As a cinephile, it was a dream come true and a very fond memory. He IS cinema; look at who started with/under him. Thank you, maestro, for decades of films.

RIP Roger Corman. I love The Raven, The Terror, and Dinoshark. RIP to the King of the Bs and the cult classics we love today

Great body of work , truly appreciated by this fan . Rest in peace sir .

Hollywood today would be a very different place without him. What a legend.

May he rest in peace

What a phenomenal director! His genius will be missed 🙏

Some of the biggest directors and actors got their start thanks to this man. I don't know of any other filmmaker who has such variety of genres in his career. Roger Corman was willing to trying anything in his films and it was amazing! RIP to the King of Cult classics

Aww sad news. RIP.

He lived a very full life and has left us with some great memories of his films. He has left a legacy that will last forever, as will his films. May we all live to reach such a great age. I hope TCM presents us with a nice retrospective of his career soon!

RIP Mr. Corman your films will always have a special.place in my heart.💖💖

Truly the end of an era.

He seemed like a good man in addition to an important filmmaker. He will be missed. I thought he might live forever.

He was one of the greatest moviemakers ever. He could make anything work, and his films were always watchable. Even the stupid ones. 🤣 We will miss you, Roger. And thank you again, TCM, for giving us one of your classic tributes. Roger Corman definitely deserved one.

RIP to a visionary filmmaker.

RIP Roger and thank you!!🎬📽🎬📽🎬🎞🎞

I read his autobiography for my 6th grade book report. That man became a personal hero to me prior to that, and a mentor from a distance afterwards. I had the pleasure of talking to him ..once...after I found the negatives of two of his first films, along with the editing/shot sheets, written on Allied Artist stationary dating back to the late 50s. I contacted him to see if he needed it back...not to hold it ransom(it belonged to my boss who was involved in the film business) He was a great gentleman, and understood completely, and thanked me for finding it. I wish I was able to talk to him more. He was flattered when I told him about the book report.

What an amazing legacy that will go on forever. In addition to enjoying his many movies I always loved hearing him talk about movies.

Wow...i didn't know he passed until seeing this.😢Spent many hours as a young girl being enthralled by his films. I always look for his movies to be on to this day. I loved you, Roger.💔

How about...? TCM Remembers Dabney Coleman 1932-2024 He was an actor appeared in films like: The Trouble with Girls (1969), The Towering Inferno (1974), Midway (1976), 9 to 5 (1980), On Golden Pond (1981), The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984), Dragnet (1987), The Beverly Hillbillies (1993), Clifford (1994), and The Climb (2002),

Roger Corman a man who made films for the audiences not critics a man who without him New Hollywood would've never happened and we would've missed out on so many legendary films made and acted by people he took a chance on

Great tribute video. TCM is the greatest

Although I have not had the chance to thoroughly watch any of the films that he personally helmed, I acknowledge that Roger Corman had quite the career in the motion picture industry from the 1950s all the way up until his death. He took under his wing and helped jumpstart the careers of many young directors starting out including Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, Peter Bogdanovich, Joe Dante, John Sayles, and James Cameron. Besides up-and-coming filmmakers, he also commenced forward the careers of iconic actors including the late Peter Fonda [R.I.P.], the gone but never forgotten Dennis Hopper, Bruce Dern, Diane Ladd, William Shatner, and the iconic Jack Nicholson. Roger was also a pillar of the New Hollywood Wave of the 1960s and 70s. So long and farewell to The Pope of Pop Cinema.

Roger Corman is a legend, and legends never die ❤️

Goodbye, Sir. 😢

Ele é inconfundível com seu sorriso rasgado e sua fina inteligência.

His legacy is forever.

RIP to a legend.

Legend

Thank you, Sir, for your vision. Rest in Peace.

RIP Legend.

I first heard of Roger Corman in "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark"(1988)

Roger Corman was a moving picture genius...regardless of what anyone thinks of his "output"....

Roger Corman has died as the director of such memorable film, he uses some the gimmicks that help star get into some horrors that we're seeing on Halloween Night as a theme during guest programmers and more. Alicia Malone who'll be dressing as a fiend said he'll be scaring people in memory, Dave Karger as Frankenstein said he was a man of many horrors and Ben as Dracula in October called him a pal and a friend of theirs. More creative, helped bring movies into our scary moods watching movies. Born and also known as Henry Niell Roger Williams back on April 5, 1926, he found the real thing in life doing what he likes in films such as The Little Shop of Horrors that turned into Broadway musical and a movie musical. He also did countless terror with The Pit and The Pendulum, The Raven and many others from the 70s and 80s with documentaries. Roger's hosting can be seen from AMC horror stories and directing hit specials. Roger was visionary as a director, producer to motion picture studios and as an actor. He married to Julia Halloran and had a son named Gene Corman and had 4 children. His dubbing was link to "The King of The Bs" and has become the most prolific figure and successful Producer of the day in both the horror films and B movies. He died at his home in Santa Monica, CA. He was 98 Years Old. A Look at other month of movies are at tcm.com and on the TCM App.

How about one for Darryl Hickman (1931-2024). RIP

I can't understand why TCM didn't do this for Barbara Rush. :(

Thirty years ago it used to be five minutes between movies (and they were true classic movies)... now it's at least twenty minutes between movies and endless self promotion... I'm just about through with TCM.

It seems no one had a bad thing to say about Roger Corman. Thats a rare feat in cutthroat Hollywood. Only ones I know like that are; Bill Cosby, Will Smith, Roseanne Barr, Charlie Sheen, Kevin Spacey.

Call it whining if one wishes:; (Do You Think) Could You Do one of these Exquisite Genuflects for Madam Barbara Rush ,?.. 😐😬😐😕🫤😕🥺😟🙁☹️🙁🙁🙁
