I discovered or re-discovered a few Gialli recently, I though I would update my "favorite" list.
As time goes by, the holy trinity - Bava, Argento and Fulci - slowly disappear from my TOP10. It's strange...
01: THE PERFUME OF THE LADY IN BLACK (Francesco Barilli, 1974)
A little jewel from one of my favorite Italian director. Elegant and hypnotic.
02: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO SOLANGE? (Massimo Dallamano, 1972)
An excellent Giallo. Strong story, strong cast, beautiful photography.
03: THE STRANGE VICE OF MRS WARDH (Sergio Martino, 1970)
One of the most entertaining Gialli. Erotic, violent, twisted. A classic, with Italy's most memorable scream queen, Edwige Fenech.
04: PROFONDO ROSSO (Dario Argento, 1975)
Argento's Masterpiece. A fascinating work of art that deserves its iconic status.
05: LA CASA DALLE FINESTRE CHI RIDONO (Pupi Avati, 1976)
La Casa is a door... to something really disturbing. A haunted movie, unforgettable.
06: ENIGMA ROSSO (Alberto Negrin, 1978)
It falls apart in the end, but the first 45 minutes are brilliant. It's intense, dark and disturbing.
07: L'ASSASSINO E COSTRETTO AD UCCIDERE ANCORA (Luigi Cozzi, 1975)
A solid thriller, dynamic and clever. Antoine Saint-John delivers a very strong performance.
08: THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (Mario Bava, 1963)
Its suffers from a low ambition, but I enjoy it a lot. My favorite Bava with Operazione Paura.
09: TENEBRE (Dario Argento, 1982)
Vicious, cold, insane. The ultimate Giallo. Argento's last good movie, in my opinion.
10: A BLADE IN THE DARK (Lamberto Bava, 1983)
Silly but hugely entertaining. A guilty pleasure.
