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. Title: Re: RIP Jess Franco Post by: major jay on April 03, 2013, 09:28:02 AM Absolutely. His movies were strange and perverted, but he was a master of the camera.

- in a 2009 interview Not magnificent, but certainly distinctive. RIP good sir. Title: Re: RIP Jess Franco Post by: Umaril Has Returned on April 04, 2013, 10:34:07 PM Absolutely. His movies were strange and perverted, but he was a master of the camera. RIP 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: Title: Re: RIP Jess Franco Post by: Jack on April 05, 2013, 06:44:35 AM 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. Title: Re: RIP Jess Franco Post by: Trevor on April 08, 2013, 09:01:51 AM “I don't like my movies.
