Reason #1. This movie re-kindled my interest in avant-guard film making. I think David Cronenberg struck a good balance between the real and surreal. I was interested in the movie instead of being disjointed.
Reason #2. Debbie Harry. I have always a bit of a crush on the lead singer of Blondie, and here she is beautiful and she get to show off her ample acting chops (among other things).
Reason #3. Practical effects. This was made in a world before CGI so all the special effects either had to be "in-camera" effects (the use of shadows and mirrors for example) or physically produced and shown on screen.
I enjoyed this movie and it's bleak outlook on the future on television. I wonder what Cronenberg thinks of the internet. I give Videodrome ★★★.
