Love or hate his films. You really had to respect the man for what he did. Really a loss to the world of B-Movie/Exploitation Cinema.

Absolutely. His movies were strange and perverted, but he was a master of the camera.
RIP

“I don't like my movies.  I prefer John Ford's movies....I don’t think I’ve done anything important or magnificent. I’m a worker, and the thing I prefer in my life is cinema. When I’m working in cinema, I’m happy. And that’s all, you know?”
- in a 2009 interview

Not magnificent, but certainly distinctive.  RIP good sir.

Really, man!
I'm still trying to find out what the heck the point of A Virgin Among The Living Dead was...but then again every time I saw that hot blonde in the see-thru nightgown with nothing on underneath, I suddenly forgot what it was I was looking for in the movie!  :bouncegiggle:

I've enjoyed several of his movies.  Really appreciated his attitude - he wasn't egotistical and didn't have any elevated opinion of himself;  he just wanted to entertain people and give us stuff to enjoy.

RIP Mr. Franco.

I see no problem with that at all. I'm at my happiest when I'm at work, working with the only thing that I truly understand: film. Just that, nothing more.  :teddyr:
