Scanners, Videodrome, A History of Violence, Eastern Promises. These are all 10/10 Cronenberg films in my book, and definitely worth the watch. I enjoy The Fly, but I think his other movies showcase his talents in a grander way. The Fly is more or less a tragic love story, whereas his other films I think have deeper messages. Videodrome and it's themes are very much prescient today.

2025-11-27 17:46:30 +0000 UTCGoldblum was SO good in this! It was said by siomeone that if this film had been called “Out of Africa” ( a big Meryl Streep movie of the same year ) he’d have won the Oscar for it. The 50s movie is not as graphic but for it’s time was very bizarre and more creepy and tragic in some ways. It starred Vincent Price (not as the scientist). I suggest you watch it.
