1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die (1980's) (153 movies items)" Notes: It is definitely a typical Cronenberg feature and I thought it was pretty good. At the time, Cronenberg was still transitioning to some more commercial features easier to digest for the mainstream audience but there were still many of his famous trademarks that you could find in his rather gross horror features he made at the end of the 70’s.

500 Essential Cult Movies (502 movies items)" Videodrome is as equally scary as it is disturbing in a way only Croenberg can pull off.
