    A director whose evolution is almost incomparable. From creature features to Carl Jung, from race cars to late capitalism, from B movie master to premiering his movies at Cannes. Cronenberg and Viggo made Scorsese and De Niro look like Burton and Depp. At 73, he just released one of his best movies yet. The man has been in a race with Jim Jarmusch and David Lynch for best hair for decades. What have you seen and what's your top 10?

    I recently got back to watching movies regulary, I will check these out.

    The ones I have seen are 'History of Violence', 'The Fly' and 'Videodrome'.

    Considering those I think I will not regret checking some of the others out.
