Check out the provocative, extraordinary ELLE and the powerful, heartwrenching BLACK BOOK movieman. No campiness here. Also check out his earlier films THE 4TH MAN (1983), TURKISH DELIGHT (1973) and (the more conventional) war drama SOLDIER OF ORANGE (1977). ROBOCOP rocked my world when I saw it on the big screen back in the day (when big screens really were big), and the gloriously trashy, deliciously sleazy and seriously exciting BASIC INSTINCT is a pulp thriller which serves up a wonderful cinematic ride. I adore Cronenburg and have seen all his films, but my absolute favorites are EASTERN PROMISES and A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE - which is the closest he will come to making a western. TRAILER OF ELLE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0s9O_bARgo I hated Black Book and found it unintentionally hilarious/cringe-inducing (I couldn't stand his directing) and Elle didn't work for me writing-wise but I liked his directing and Huppert was great (I don't know what the fuck the writing is going for in the second half but I didn't like it). With Black Book I felt like a was watching an entirely different movie than everybody else because it felt just as cheesy and OTT as the most of his other movies but during serious subject matter. It's actually my least favorite of his films and I found it borderline offensive.
I like Basic Instinct
Different strokes for different folks dude.

Jesus is this even a debate. The remake was terrible. I guess I can forgive it, but the poster who said that the Robocop remake was better than the original has serious mental health issues and should get checked out. "At least you picked the right color." Xhibit, Robocop If you are going to be an asshole you should at least get your information right. I said I like the remake of RoboCop and the original equally.

I could argue that you are a twisted asshole with opinions like this. The Robocop remake was dreadful.
