The Fly. 1986.

David Cronenberg's take on a classic 958 film of the same title, here Jeff Goldblum is the eccentric scientist working with teleportation and uses the device in a drunken jealous mood little realising a fly is in the machine with him. Geena davis is the journalist working on a story and new love interest for Goldblum even though her boss John Getz still has the hots for his ex and wants in on the story. What starts out as mad notion of teleportation on how it will work after a baboon got turned inside out, to a love story that doesn't go wrong and a man slowly turning into a fly. The make-up effects are brilliantly done and has a great score by Howard Shore who turns up the music in certain bits. A remake that never gets dull or boring.
