Cronenberg’s filmography is very-very solid. His OG trilogy of fucked up shit - Shivers, Rabid and The Brood is a lot of fun. Scanners go hard. Dead Ringers features not one but Jeremy Irons’ chewing the living fuck of the script. Spider has Ralph Fiennes doing Christopher Eccleston which is a sight to behold in its own right. Crash is the right kind of fucked up wacky melodrama. It’s like Lubitsch or Sirk movie if he was into car crashes. History of Violence features Viggo Mortensen being one scary person
