PLEASE NOTE: there is a major difference between the scale with which modern movies are being judged and the "classics scale" with which the...well...good ones are being judged.

videodrome (cronenberg, 1983)

if i ever foyer into academia, the first thing i'm going to make my media classes watch is network. the last is videodrome. it's like media studies on crack. brilliantly directed, and well executed on almost all technical fronts (keep in mind it was the early '80s), but more importantly a simply brilliant film.

modern classics: 9/10
