David Cronenberg
What is your favorite David Cronenberg film and what are your thoughts on the direction he has taken since the early 90's? I myself miss the old Cronenberg.

Cronenberg
I'm probably not the best person to answer this, because my two favorite Cronenberg flicks just happen to be his *least* "Cronenbergy" movies: THE FLY and THE DEAD ZONE.
Those two are, in fact, two of my favorite horror movies ever. From anyone. James N. http://members.tripod.com/~NEWMANATOR/index.html

Great picks. I would say The Dead Zone is against Cronenberg's style but The Fly fits right in. There's definitely a metamorphosis that takes place during that film and Cronenberg's all about messing with the flesh. Love both of the movies.

David Cronenberg is one of the most significant contemporary director. As my predecessors I love Dead Zone. I would add Videodrome, Naked Lunch and Crash. Cronenberg's films are charakterized by excellent climate and surprasing ending.

Videodrome and Scanners are my fave by him. I couldn't really get with his latest but I admire that he had the guts to show James Spader getting busy with ladies AND a man in Crash. That movie has a very creepy and cold vibe. I felt sorry for all the characters because they seemed desperately lonely despite all the pervy car crash sex they were having. LOL!
ExistenZ just confused me a lot. Though I think that was the goal. But Scanners and Videodrome are just way better in my opinion. I love Debbie Harry in Videodrome too.

The Fly, I think is certainly his best.

Shivers, Videodrome, The Fly and Rabid are probably my favorites but I've liked pretty much everything he's put out but I haven't seen M Butterfly or Spiders yet. I really like how effects look so fucked up... and unusual compared to others like everything looks hokey and fake but in a good way (if you get what i mean).
