I think that The Dead Zone is maybe the most quotable. The guy always seems to find something within the story that is not the baseline for the movie that really brings it home.
I should've said my favorite instead of his best. I own this as well as scanners and the fly (all three are special editions, the fly is a 2 disc with a lot of Rick baker behind the scenes stuff)
I do love me some scanners as well.
I like Video Drome bc it's a wild story complete with very very practical sfx which Rick Baker was known for.
cheers 4D. we share similar taste in weird movies I see
