Plague Times Diary (29) - Roger Corman holdings at FILM CLUB

Film Club in Darlinghurst  (136 Darlinghurst Road, Darlinghurst) is the last of the serious video rental stores that only a decade or so dotted the suburbs. Its slogan of The Last, Best Video Store is accurate, for Sydney at least.

Following the posting of a piece  about the recent box-set of Roger Corman Edgar Allan Poe adaptations, Film Club proprietor Ben Kenny was asked to supply a list of the store's holdings of Corman titles. 

Here it is - a good selection which gives you an idea of the breadth of Corman's work - from ultra cheap schlock to quality. Five of the eight Corman/Poe movies are on the shelves.
