Best/Favorite Movie Producers?

What were their best movies, and why are they your favorite? We don't talk about them much....

Lee Donowitz-Coming Home in a Bodybag

Good question! and you're right, we don't talk about producers. Often it's the producer that 'colors' the film. One of the greatest B movie producers is Roger Corman. He has a whooping 434 films to his credit! Have you guys seen any of his films? Thoughts?

Including such choice B films as:
The Little Shop of Horrors (1960)
House of Usher (1960)
Pit and the Pendulum (1960)
The Raven (1963)
X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963)
The St. Valentine's Day Massacre (1967)
Candy Stripe Nurses (1974)
Death Race 2000 (1975)
Piranha (1978)
Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979)
Galaxy of Terror (1981)
Death Race (2008)

and he stills making films! he's on post production of Death Race 2050

I've heard a lot about Roger Corman over the years but I have only seen two of the films you listed here...Little Shop of Horrors and Rock and Roll High School.

I never saw a Corman film, (at least I don't think so) but I know he helped a lot of young directors.. Made movies very cheap!

Producers? Roger Corman, and Jess Franco, who was the world's Roger Corman. It still bugs me that the New York Times didn't give him an obit. They gave one to Paul Naschy

Dino DuLaurentis also took chances... My favorites he produced were..
-La Strada
-Nights of Cabiria
-Serpico
