I've never seen a Cronenberg film that I didn't love. Even though he's moved farther and farther away from horror in recent years, I think that some of his later movies are among the finest I've seen. In my opinion, A History of Violence didn't quite live up to his earlier work, but it was outstanding for a mainstream film. I've always found it rather surprising that he hasn't gotten more recognition for his work. Ah well, I suppose the masses rarely recognize true genius.
And Renob: why don't you give it a rest already? Only a child would think that being gay was somehow insulting. On top of that, Cronenberg's not, but I honestly don't see how that has any bearing on his work. Perhaps you could explain why he is "pretentious." That would be better than an obnoxious troll post, which your homo comment definitely was.
Side note: anyone know where I could score a copy of Dead Ringers? The Criterion edition was out of print last time I checked, and I won't go through Ebay.
