Two great ones. Went with The Fly by a narrow edge. Tough choice.

the fly

Damn...i really hated voting against either.Love both but Videodrome has James Woods and Deb Harry...thats enough to give it the edge.

I went with The Fly because it has more replay value. Videodrome is a great movie, but I am not in the mood to see it more than once a year.

I voted Videodrome. I like The Fly and stuff, but Videodrome is Cronenberg's best by a long shot, IMO.

love both went with the fly

[SaviniFan]

Videodrome. I agree with DefJeff, Cronenberg's best film.

[Anthropophagus]

Recently discovered The Fly and it's quickly become a favorite. Voted for The Fly.

Love both movies, have the Criterion Edition of Videodrome, and the 2-Disc Set of the Fly, but have to go with Videodrome.

Both are excellent and they are two of my favorites, but I had to go with The Fly simply because I watch it more. Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis deliver superb performances and everything about the movie is perfect in my eyes: the special effects, the dialogue, the music, everything. Videodrome is almost as perfect, but, like onebyone, it is just not a film I am in the mood to see that often.

Videodrome. It's Cronenberg's masterpiece among masterpieces.

[MorallySound]

Videodrome.

[tobaccoman]

I feel The Fly is all-around the better film here as Videodrome just has too much stuff going on in it and it really shows that the script wasn't finished prior to shooting which causes it to come off as really fucked up so naturally, I'm going with Videodrome because, dammit, I like fucked up shit.

[maskull]

Videodrome. The Fly is a great movie but I just can't watch it because it grosses me out and depresses me all at the same time.

[satans-sadists]

I prefer The Fly, though I may need to give Videodrome another viewing.

I'm glad you chose these as Cronenberg's two titans. The Fly was much more disturbing and scary. But I love Videodrome. I love that movie so much... Anyway, I went with Fly.
