If you want to see Cronenberg at his absolute weirdest then Naked Lunch is the one to see.

The Fly is awesome, easily one of my all time favorite horror films. Overall Cronenberg is very high on the tier of horror/thriller directors for me. I hope he gets back to straight up horror stuff someday because that genre is in desperate need of something interesting right now.
The French and Belgians have been knocking out some of the most cerebral and intelligent Horror films of the last 5 years or so it's only the stagnant Hollywood crap that has lead to this assumption. Calvaire, Haute Tension, Frontieres, Trouble Every Day, Ex Drummer (although a black comedy if truth be told),À l'intérieur and Martyrs are superlative Horror films that have breathed new life into Horror and all worthy of inspection.
