I have only seen two of Dario Argento's Films, Suspiria, and Opera. This is because the video shops here in Australia well, within a half hour radius of my place, don't have them in store for rental. I managed to find a copy of Opera, and i was amazed. Having seen that, i brought Suspiria on blind faith because Opera was so good.
Suspiria really creeped me out with the music score, and being in 6.1 ES made it so much more chilling. I am ordering Phantom of the opera, Deep Red and Phenomena as soon as i can. So out of the two, it's hard to choose which one i like more. I think Suspiria for the music, and Opera for it's originality. I would have to say that they tie. I'm holding Dario Argento right up there with Wes Craven as the Best horror directors of all time. -

Here are mine:
- Phenomena
- Deep Red
- The Cat o' Nine Tails
- Suspiria
- Trauma / Sleepless
This selection may seem kind of unusual to many of you (except for the first two titles, of course) but I just can't help it!
The only Argento movie that I don't like at all is the abysmal "Phantom of the Opera".
Sadly I haven't been able to see "Four Flies on Grey Velvet", yet. Hopefully it'll be put on DVD soon ("Anchor Bay" - please read this!!!)

1 Suspiria
2 Tenebrae
3 sleepless
4 bird with the crystal plumage
5 deep red
I have seen four flies on grey velvet, the film opens up in promising style but is generally slow moving and not Argento's best. Simular to 'bird with crystal plumage' I seem to remember but not as good. Just seen the card player, not made my mind up on that one yet.
