5.0 out of 5 stars Popcorn and lazy weekend afternoon documentary. Nostalgic pleasure.

A lot of moviegoers don't realize how much the contribution of excellent character actors mean to a film's success. Modern films seldom have great actors like Dick Miller. A character actor who should've at least gone on to be a gumshoe detective in his own series. The man could act. Loved this homey documentary. It's relaxed. Make some popcorn on a weekend afternoon and enjoy. By the way, Dick's wife was in the Graduate. His wife has the best body I've ever seen on film. Scope out her younger day pictures. (She's also a gorgeous older woman.) But her body is amazing. She and Dick have a sweet marriage with one liners zinging between them--and a nice loving sizzle.) Love you Dick Miller wherever you are. You gave me and thousands upon thousands of moviegoers so much pleasure.Whenever you were on screen, I perked up and paid attention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon blu ray, burned and without the extras.... keep your DVD!

This is a terrific documentary , I'm writing this to alert possible BLU RAY purchasers that it not only is a "burned" Blu Ray but sadly has NONE of the extensive bonus features found on the DVD that has been out for some time. I can also say that the blu ray doesn't seem like an upgrade in terms of quality of image. There is a new edition coming out in Germany that has blu ray and DVD and many extra goodies... I've ordered one from ebay and I'm hopeful it will be the ultimate version of a film I've watched half a dozen times and never grow tired of!
UPDATE: yes, the German import is all region, DVD and Blu Ray and does have plentiful bonus features like the DVD I mentioned at the top.

It is a fascinating look at a working actor named Dick Miller who seems to pop up all over the movie landscape.
His career is strongly linked to Roger Corman the King of the B Movies. Roger started using Dick in most of his movies and later when young film fanatics grew up and secured jobs with Roger they carried on the Dick Miller tradition. Wonderful interviews with Roger Corman,
directors Joe Dante and Allan Arkush, editors Kent Beyda and Marshall Harvey and many other filmmakers are peppered throughout
scenes of Dick's numerous movies. And of course Dick and his lovely and insightful wife of over forty years provide the spine of the interviews. This is a very entertaining and informative documentary.

4.0 out of 5 stars He Coulda Been A Contenda...
Reviewed in the United States on August 10, 2016

Enlightening documentary about one of those actors everybody knows, but nobody knows...if you know what I mean. The guy was always a good actor, but really shined when compared to other cast members in what were typically low-budget films. Can't recall a part he did a bad job on, but I probably haven't seen many of them, as it seems he was in every other film ever made.

The movie shows a lot of his history, and what he faced due to that history. It's a shame he was discounted for casting merely due to previous films he was in, even though he was so good.

I watched this by "accident". I remember who this fellow is, once I see his face. He brings joy to every part he plays, reminding us (me anyway) that it is good to be alive. As I have read in other reviews, I concur, his wife may be the most exquisite creature ever on the planet, I noticed her in the graduate for her beauty and physical ease, stunning. This is just a wonderful picture and even though I contributed no money, I feel proud of us humans that this is crowd-funded. Bravo bravo.

Very much enjoyed the movie; character actors are the backbone of Hollywood who rarely get the credit they deserve, and Dick is the king of them (also just a flat-out interesting and entertaining guy). Glad he finally got his day in the sun.
Be aware the Blu-Ray doesn't contain any of the special features listed on the standard dvd; found out the hard way when ordered the cheaper Blu-Ray (Amazon was gracious about refunding though).

4.0 out of 5 stars An entertaining look at a Hollywood icon
Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2016

For a low budget indie doc, this entertaining story about the long and storied career of a Hollywood icon is well worth viewing. Anyone who is a movie lover will be captivated by the many familiar faces who explain their experiences in working with this veteran of the film industry. Unless you grew up in a bubble, you likely saw Dick Miller in a movie although you didn't know it as was the case with me. His friends and family also share their loving testimonials to a man who has endeared himself to anyone he has touched onscreen and off.
