Any Cronenberg movie is worth watching. If you haven't seen his early horror movies, especially The Brood, Videodrome, Scanners, The Dead Zone you should.
His later movies, I'd recommend M. Butterfly, Existenz, A History of Violence and Eastern Promises (I haven't seen the four he's made since Eastern Promises, so I am not saying they aren't worth watching). |
Wait - I did see
The Dead Zone! I had forgotten about that. I haven't seen that movie since it came out. (I read the book when it first came out, and I remember it had me riveted.)
I'll definitely give those earlier Cronenberg films a watch.
Thank you for the recommendations.
