I do. I've been following his career since "Rabid," and I love a number of his films. My favorites are "Naked Lunch," "Videodrome," and the film from the 80s that deals with twin doctors who are gynocologists (if I was getting more sleep, I could probably remember the title). I also think Cronenberg's re-make of 'The Fly' is decent; 'The Fly' is also about a close as he ever came to making a popular film.
I wasn't surprised to see that the first answer you received to your question was "Who?" Cronenberg just isn't as well known as he should be because he makes films that just mystify most people.
Thanks for posting your question. You reminded me that I'm going to need to buy a copy of "Naked Lunch," if I ever want to watch it again, and I will want to see it again.
Who?
Yeah i really admire his diversity of films although many of the earlier ones have a concurrent theme of mutation. I think Existenz was very underrated and a really interesting and varied take on the whole videogames arena. The Fly and Eastern Promises were great also. I didn't like Crash though, this film was perversion at its worst.
