Same here :-\


--- Quote from: Companero on 13 Jul 2007 - 14:19 ---You certainly are right, Stephen – my sig features a still from Dallamano’s film. I love DAUGHTERS and think it has an edge over SOLANGE, personally speaking. I like the way in which it comes across as a hybrid of cop flick and giallo.

That's right, I always thought DAUGHTERS was a superior movie- SOLANGE is not bad at all but DAUGHTERS, I could never get tired of. Even if RED RINGS had a decent release, it would still be regarded as inferior compared to Dallamano's movies. Not a bad film either, just not a really special one in my opinion.

CJ:
This is such a great genre with so many superb films to choose from. But off the top of my head, my favourites would be:

Deep Red
All the Colors of the Dark
Short Night of the Glass Dolls
Your Vice is a Locked Door and Only I have the Key
The House with Laughing Windows
Opera
My Dear Killer
The Bloodstained Shadow
Bird with the Crystal Plumage
Lizard in a Woman's Skin
Torso
Seven Blood Stained Orchids

These are the ones I seem to revisit the most. Of course the list changes as I see new films. It really is a wonderful genre, one that I can never get enough of.

Kalibre38:
Crimes of the Black Cat
Bird With the Crystal Plumage
The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh
What Have They Done to Your Daughters?
Eyeball

Fray G:
Nothing startlingly original from me i'm afraid. Just about in order of preference:

Don't Torture a Duckling
Deep Red
Solange
Lizard in a Woman's Skin
What Have.......Daughters
Your Vice is.......
Strange Vice of.......

Peter Neal:
Obviously there's no way to ignore Argento in this list for me :-*

1) Tenebrae
(For way too many reasons, most notably for giving me a taste for Euro horror at the right time to make me a lifelong addict ;D)

2) Opera
(Oh no, not Argento AGAIN! :o Ah, what the ....! I find this movie relentlessly rewatchable and at the time of writing, it's been Dario's last true masterpiece. ;))

3) Blood And Black Lace
(A Five Star feast for the eyes!)

4) Don't Torture A Duckling
(I'd volunteer to remake this instantly if somebody was crazy enough to fund me! ;D)

5) The New York Ripper
(For hitting its audience out of nowhere with a totally unexpected emotional "sledge hammer!" at the very end! :) One could discuss Fulci's alleged misogynist treatment of his female characters, but NYR doesn't make the debate as easy as some might think after a first, rushed glance. :-\)
