I read through the entire thread and I had a few thoughts about some of the posts made:

My understanding is that Argento disowned Giallo because after shooting had completed, the producers took the footage and edited it together without any input from Argento.

The German blu-ray of Sleepless is censored due to violence. The Austrian blu-ray is uncut but out of print so it would take a bit of searching to find a copy. PQ is pretty good, a big step-up from dvd.

I think that Julian Sands gives quite a hammy performance in Phantom. Luckily watching it in Italian fixes that issue. There's quite a nice German bd which should sway opinions on the film. It suffers a little from black crush but is still recommended. Sound is Italian only (no English) but it does have English subtitles.

lol That moment in Mother of Tears has quite a significant effect when viewed at the cinema. Unfortunately it has to be seen on the big screen to properly appreciate it.
