best/favorite David Cronenberg movie
 
Which is Cronenberg's best?

What about RABID or FAST COMPANY?
I'm a fan of most of his films, but I have to go with THE FLY. An excellent reinterpretation of what was originally a pretty hokey (but kind of lovable) 50's SF/horror film. Probably his most commercial (and successful) film, but it still manages to contain much of his unique vision.

1. Naked Lunch

tied for 2nd - Fly, Scanners and Videodrome.

Mountain Biker 09-24-04 09:12 PM

Videodrome is my favorite, followed by The Dead Zone, The Fly, and Scanners.

Videodrome

Joe Molotov 09-24-04 11:06 PM

I have to admit I've never seen The Fly or Scanners, but of what I have seen, I vote for eXistenZ.

AnonomusBob15 09-25-04 12:24 AM

either Videodrome, Naked Lunch or Spider. :)

drjay 09-25-04 03:30 AM

Dead Ringers but it's a dead heat between that and Naked Lunch,

Supermallet 09-25-04 03:47 PM

A tie between Videodrome and Dead Ringers. I voted for Videodrome, though.

Perkinsun Dzees 09-25-04 07:19 PM

I gotta go with:

1. FAST COMPANY
2. RABID
3. THEY CAME FROM WITHIN

MSD 09-25-04 07:39 PM

RABID!!!!!!!

cheapskate 09-25-04 08:21 PM

The Dead Zone - one of a handful of Stephen King based films I've found a lot more enjoyable than the source material...

But it was either that or The Fly by a small margin. :)

Sex Fiend 09-25-04 10:34 PM

Tough choice...looking through the list, I realize how many movies DC has made that I really like. And you didn't even list Rabid or Shivers - either of which I might have chosen. But I will cast my vote for Videodrome because I think it has held up best over time. Runners-up are Rabid, Naked Lunch and The Dead Zone.

I think you can only include 10 choices in a poll. Pity, as Rabid is a lot of fun. I have never even heard of Fast Company, lol. Anyway, I have yet to see a Cronenberg film I haven't liked to some degree, but I definitely have a top 3.

1. Dead Ringers -- voted for (first Criterion I ever bought **tear**sniff**)
2. eXistenZ
3. Naked Lunch

RABID

Geofferson 09-26-04 04:22 PM

Scanners

Same here.

Numanoid 09-26-04 11:20 PM

Dead Ringers is his finest film, as a director.

I'd list that, along with The Fly, The Dead Zone, and eXistenZ as tied for my favorite.

The Fly

I can't say that I'm a huge fan of DC's movies, but when I see one, take Dead Ringers, I find myself seriously contemplating it for long periods of time. His movies are so disturbing, yet thought provoking.

ianholm 09-28-04 03:04 PM

Dead Zone

George T 09-28-04 04:29 PM

For me Dead Ringers, Crash and Videodrome are my favourites. I voted for Dead Ringers.

tommyp007 09-28-04 05:25 PM

tough one, but i voted for Dead Ringers. the Fly and The Dead Zone were real close.

DVD Smurf 09-28-04 11:19 PM

Spider... Cronenberg is like a good wine...
