Being one of my Top 10 Director's, it's pretty hard picking his best film. Worst film was easy though.

It is difficult to choose I have to say since I am a fan of Cronenberg and I pretty much love almost every movie that he made that I saw (I have yet to see Fast Company and M.Butterfly, as well as his earliest films like Stereo and Crimes of The Future).
But if I absolutely have to choose, I would say that my favorite would probably be Scanners, The Naked Lunch and Dead Zone, while my least favorite would be Crash and Cosmopolis. Also, even though I thought it was very good, I can not say that Maps to The Stars is a movie that I would watch again soon.

I'm surprised no one picked The Fly. Its a true signature film. I dont like disturbing as a sensation so much anymore so i dont spend a lot of time with his films these days.
I love Naked Lunch and Dead Ringers. Cosmopolis, Crash and Map not so much. Videodrome and Existenz suffer from being so of their moment. Spider might be his best realized mind blower. There's another half dozen films that deserve honorable mention.
What a great filmography. I don't think he ever touched a budget over 15 million.I'm always interested in what he's up to.

Maybe we should start a ranking thread. I pretty much love all of his films. But, for some of them you have to be in just the right mood, a mood that might only strike on one day in three years.

Favourite: Rabid. Unconventional choice, but I just love it. Tied with Texas Chain Saw Massacre for my favourite horror film.
Least favourite: Scanners. Just a terrible concept very poorly executed.
Honourable mentions: Videodrome, The Fly, Crash, and Maps to the Stars.
