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.

The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

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:
