Pretty good. Though I would rank "The Brood" above "A Dangerous Method".
The hell is this? What's with the hate on Naked Lunch and then such a low score on the Brood? Scanners is a pretty piss-poor Cronenberg film too, even with the exploding head.

'Naked Lunch' is a masterpiece. I expected to see that one at the top when I opened the link. It is impossible to argue 'Existenz' and 'Spider' are better films. But I admire them all, so, more importantly, happy birthday to Mr Cronenberg.
"A Dangerous Method" is by far his best movie.
A History Of Violence at #2? With that ludicrous William Hurt turn?
Where's 'Shivers' on this list?
Your order is a mess, but you got #1 and #2 right. Trade 'Naked Lunch' for 'Crash' and it improves greatly.
