Once the exploding head scene's done I find Scanners turns formulaic, but Videodrome on the other hand's mental from start to finish. I revisited Dead Ringers recently - it's stood up well.
I enjoy how Cronenberg can still turn out disturbing and identifiable films, despite them being bigger budget. He's never compromised his subject matter or tone. For me he's a great director.
