I tend not to like Cronenberg after Videodrome. I put Crash in more because I think it's the best of his worst from that period than because I really like it. I'm surprised you find Rabid his worst film. Although I put it just behind Shivers I consider them about equal in their greatness. My view is that Cronenberg is a great ideas man but a bad filmmaker and that after Videodrome he began to think more in terms of his films as art rather than as a vehicle for brilliant concepts. I always think he would've made a better screenwriter than a director. Actually, I've just edited my list to replace Crash with The Dead Zone. I'm putting on my flameproof suit in readiness.
