I think The Brood is Cronenberg's masterpiece, and highly recommend it.

Perfect Blue
La Jetee
Dead End
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Carnivale (HBO Series)
Freaks

I'm renting Blood for Dracula and Flesh for Frankenstein... anyone see these? They look incredibly campy and fun. And criterion, too.

It's a shame not to see Flesh for Frankenstein in 3-D though.
