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.

unrelated, but you never answered me about that Hardy record.

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, 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"

Well if you liked A History of Violence then you'll LOVE Eastern Promises. Maybe if you don't think of it as a Cronenberg movie you'd enjoy it a lot... and I mean, how will you enjoy it if you just think "man this does not seem like cronenberg" the whole way through? It does have a lot of blood and such in it so it's not like he's toning himself down anyway.
