Spider was pretty weak. In fact, I had forgotten all about it 'til this thread.

Apart from Rabid, I find his weak ones to be M. Butterfly (that's obvious) and Scanners. Now Scanners is a movie that has a great idea but poor execution. Love the scanner battles though!

This lack of love for Rabid really surprises me. I always assumed it was sort of a given that it was one of best films.

actually, in all my years as a Cronenberg fan (probably 7 years now), you're the first person I've seen that really loves it. Nothing wrong with that though.

Make that 2.
Out of curiousity I just looked and it's his lowest-rate film, next to Crash (though I assume people who didn't even see Crash gave it a 1 because of its "controversy"). |

Crash is amazing. The atmosphere and chill you get from it while they're racing up the highway is spine-tingling.

weird. I'd rather Crash (and obviously Rabid) much higher than say Spider or History of Violence or M Butterfly etc. Nobody mentioned EXistenZ either. I like that one a lot. I like Scanners a lot too.

Yeah I really like EXistenZ as well. Was very gripping for me.

That's it! It was good? I dnt know. Spider then History of Violence. They were good films and all but... then this came out and ... I just wanted to see some kind of classic Cronenberg body horror.

Yeah, Eastern Promises is amazing. Best fight scene ever in a movie.
It's body horror. As in the horror of SELLING bodies. |

this thread reminded me that i wanted to buy some cronenberg. it took me a while to decide, cause i didnt want to spent $20 on a movie, so i didnt get dead ringers. i really wanted videodrome, cause its one of my favorite movies, but my friend owns it so i decided to get dead zone, which i love, and the brood, which i havent seen.
i think its safe to say that the general opinion is that videodrome is his best? my friend made me a t-shirt for my birthday that has a picture of the flesh with gun leaving the tv, and underneath it it say "long live the new flesh"
