“The Fly” – Starring Jeff Goldblum (who kind of looks like a fly) and Geena Davis (who kind of looks like Goldblum), director David Cronenberg’s “The Fly” reverses the traditional fairy tale structure and tells of scientist Seth Brundle’s falling to pieces, literally and figuratively, after a botched experiment. But there’s still hope that he can be saved. It all leads up to one of the most powerful endings in film history. Box of Kleenex required.
