Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
Cronenberg, my reasoning can be found in the Cronenberg vs. Carpenter thread, not that anybody cares enough about my opinion to track it down; I'm equally lazy about my desire to copy and paste it. So in conclusion, GOOOOO CRONENBERG!!

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
I love both of these directors, but nothing Cronenberg has done has connected with me as much as Mulholland Drive by Lynch.

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
Two great directors. I have to go with Lynch for no other reason than he directed Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet.
Cronenberg is just fantastic with films like Videodrome, The Brood and Dead Ringers on his resume.
I actually created a similar poll with these very two directors at another site.

David Lynch, and I really like Cronenberg too. Lynch tends to be far more unsettling and connecting on a deeper instinctual level. I also love Lynch's sense of humor.

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
Question: are you guys taking Lynch's "Twin Peaks" into account, or are we concentrating on films alone?

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
Two of my favorites, but I consider Lynch's work to be true film art and believe it will be studied and appreciated for generations.
And also, Suprmallet's lazy cut-and-paste IMDB filmographies make me angry.

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
anywhoooo....Cronenberg for me. Never did get into Lynch, great director? Yeah, sure...but so's Cronenberg...DC's films in fact...almost seem real even w/ the crazy shit going on. He just has that quality that for some reason...I can believe that this is a real world.

Lynch. Blue Velvet, Elephant Man, Straight Story, Mulholland Dr. He has greater range, and can make good movies outside of his own obsessions. I like Cronenberg a lot, but he's trapped by his obsessions, and is forced to make good movies within their walls.

Re: ONE AND ONLY Directors Poll: David Cronenberg/David Lynch
Lynch. He's my 2nd favourite director, and Cronenberg is my 3rd.
However, I like more Cronenberg movies than Lynch movies (I've seen all Lynch's, but not all of Cronenberg's). I like Lynch's style more though. And the only 3 movies that have ever scared me were all his.
