David Cronenberg's controversial screen version of JG Ballard's novel about a group of people who get sexually aroused by car crashes. Famously banned by various councils around the country back in the mid-90s, the theme of a fetish for car accidents and injury makes for genuinely disturbing viewing. But, critics missed Crash's wit, intelligence, and genuine daring. Cronenberg directs his movie to resemble a troubling sex dream, and the result is an unforgettable journey to the dark side. Buckle up.
