I think the consensus big four for Cronenberg right now are Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, and A History of Violence. Seems like those are the essential hits at this point.

My top 4 Cronenbergs are The Fly, Videodrome, Crimes of the Future and damnnnn probably A History of Violence... but Eastern Promises is right there imo, same with Dead Ringers, could argue for any of those 3 as his 3rd best.... actually fk it Scanners is too iconic put that 4th
@BadFilmTakes1
yeah that’s his letterboxd top 4 most popular movies, discounting crimes of the future because recent stuff gets logged more than old stuff. it’s fairly representative of his ouvre even if i would swap one or two out.
