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. -

This is my personal top Five of Dario Argento

- Phenomena
- Deep Red
- Tenebre
- Inferno
However I also have the least favorite here are in my opinion, Argento's top Five worst. - Phantom of the Opera (1998)
- Sleepless
- Trauma
- Four Flies on Grey Velvet
- Opera

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. -

- Profondo Rosso
- Inferno
- Suspiria
- Phenomena
- Il Gato A Nove Code
My list would go on like this: - Opera
- Tenebre
- Trauma
I haven't seen the rest of his filmography, but I'm on it. I can't wait to see Phantom of the Opera. I want to see with my eyes if it's really THAT horrible. I have that one and Two Evil Eyes on tape, I'll watch them soon. I'm from Spain. There are only a couple of Argento's movies released here. I'm watching his filmography thanks to my local library that has some of his movies which were released on vhs many years ago, and also thanks to e-mule. I'm downloading 4 flies, bird, stendhal syndrome, etc Plus, there is a cable channel in Spain, "canal 18", that often plays Argento's movies (Deep Red, Phenomena, Two Evil Eyes, Phantom, etc).
Nada? Nada? Nada Da Da Da?!
