A History of Violence, although I wasn't actively aware of Cronenberg at the time. After I delved deeper into the mythos behind him, it was The Fly

Probably The Dead Zone, or The Fly, both of which I saw with my dad as a l2000ate child-teenager. I started exploring Cronenberg after that, seeing Scanners afterwards and Videodrome.

My first Cronenberg movie is The Fly OR Scanners. Both films have marked my cinematic childhood. Later, in the 97-98, when I went deeper into cinema and start considering the directors and realized that I liked 2 movies from same director, Cronenberg, I decided to consciently watch Crash first because my Dad wanted to bring me to theater to watch it but could not because I did not have the age! He insisted because it did not work. Anyway, we watched Bad Moon instead.

Can't remember my second. In any case, I think The Fly's the perfect starting point if you're just getting into his work, purely Cronenbergian but with a mainstream appeal you don't see in something like Videodrome (though that's still my favourite of his)

Probably The Fly too. Then The Brood. I stole a vhs copy of the latter from some market. I don't really know why. Probably to impress a girlfriend with my daring. I didn't even know who the director was, and the tape only would have cost me like 5 bucks. Anyway, I really liked the movie. One of the creepiest I'd ever seen. Made me a confirmed Cronenberg fan.
