He's one of my top ten favorite directors of all time, for sure.
(I was kinda sad to read John Carpenter chatting about the last time they were in the same room together. Apparently Carpenter sat down next to him and tried to get a friendly private conversation going, and Cronenberg wouldn't even make eye contact, uttering one or two word responses. Carpenter realized Cronenberg sorta deemed himself now a bonafide "artiste", it not being worth his time anymore conversing with a paltry, simpleminded genre director. Especially when a few decades ago they were both good buddes. Not that it affects my love for the dude's movies!)
