Dario Argento x 20
Vote for his single best or your single favorite, whichever way you prefer to think of it, and perhaps say a few words why you picked it. I voted for The Cat O'Nine Tails. It was the first film by...

DEEP RED for me--also my first Argento. Tuned in about 2/3 of the way through while channel surfing and was immediately hooked. LOVE the score and the characters.

Susperia. It lived up to my expectations after hearing hype behind it for over 5 years. Deep Red would be a fraction of inch right behind it. Saw that two years before Susperia.However, with newer...

I like the Phantom but I cannot stand Stendhal Syndrome, my fav is Suspiria too

I went with Deep Red although Suspiria would be a very close second. I saw "The Hatchet Murders" at a drive in during the late-seventies and had no idea who Argento was. It was several years later...

A very difficult choice. My first Argento film was BIRD, and I continue to have a warm place in my heart for that film. Both SUSPIRIA and DEEP RED are gems. But I finally voted for TENEBRE, as it...

PHENOMENA. SUSPIRIA is too easy, and I think PHENOMENA works on every level of "Daria Nicholodi era" Argento. The music, photography, that lonely beginning where you could hear the wind blowing...

i can't remember now. I think I voted for INFERNO. Dario may not be at the top of his game but I like films with mistakes and risks. I'm fond of STENDHAL, a flawed masterpiece that is. Hitchcock has...

I appreciate your comments on Cat O Nine Tails, Richard. My father took us to the drive-in when this film first played in the U.S. and I remember being so frightened by that elevator shaft death that...

Easy or not, I picked Suspiria, BTW. I have a reason for this, not only it being brilliant. It's also the only one, I think, that qualifies as a lightning strike. Everything else, theoretically, at...

Ihaven't seen all of these (not even close), but I absolutely LOVE the artsy look and feel of SUSPIRIA... and the terror and weirdness, too.

Phenomena is my fave with Tenebrae a close second. I think The Stendhal Syndrome is one of his best made films, but it disturbs me more than any film I've seen. Really makes me feel ill.

SUSPIRIA for me with INFERNO slightly behind. I like the way he uses the colors..The terrifying eye-candy visuals with the psychedelic colored-gel lighting are too much for the others to mess with..

Went with PHENOMENA. From the score to the locations to the lead to the fascinatingly insane story, I've always been drawn to this one, although I like them all save Phantom of the Opera and Giallo...

Tenebre, though i almost voted for his Black Cat segment of Two Evil Eyes.also, Il Tram from Door Into Darkness is amazingly good.
