7th. Videodrome
Much can be written/discussed about this spectacular film but I will spare everyone with only a few anecdotes. Videodrome explores the idea of television altering our perception of reality brilliantly and almost as a warning. Cronenberg's treatment of the television as a living organism and an extension of our mind and body is marvelous and poignant. I feel like it could be an allegory for religion at times as well. This is easily in my top 5 films of all time. Long live the new flesh!
