Ranking The 10 Best Film From Roger Corman’s Legendary Career
By BJ COLANGELO
10. The Wasp Woman
The cheap, cheeky prosthetics are part of the charm in this tale of the dangers of the beauty industry with commentary reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone."
In black-and-white, the story is pretty much the same as the musical version of “Little Shop Of Horrors,” and has one of the earliest appearances by Jack Nicholson.
Also known as "Gas! – Or – It Became Necessary to Destroy the World in Order to Save It," Corman's final American International Pictures film is one of his weirdest.
With Shelley Winters, Bruce Dern, and Robert De Niro, "Bloody Mama" is a glorious bit of Depression-era crime hagsploitation that deserves far more attention than it got.
"The St. Valentine's Day Massacre" is a violent crime drama about the infamous shootout between Al Capone (Jason Robards) and George Moran (Ralph Meeker).
