I was going to do an Argento top 10 but I wanted to re-watch some of his later films over the weekend that I don’t know as well as his earlier heyday work before deciding on my rankings. I couldn’t get around to it though. I still haven’t seen ‘Giallo’ and ‘Dracula’ as I can’t bring myself to watch them and I haven’t seen any of his non-giallo and non-horror stuff.

Here’s my top 5 at least:

Suspiria

Deep Red

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage

Tenebre

Inferno

I'm surprised how middle of the road Opera is coming out in these lists, It's easily one of my favourites!

I've always considered 'Opera' overrated. Not a bad film but just OK.

Too late to make the final table, Nos, i'm afraid.

You normally post well before Sunday usually.

I consider Opera Argento's last great film.

It's 'Tenebre' for me.

I do too, I like all of his films up until that point and from there onward it's hit and miss but at best mediocre!

Me too. I'm sure someone around here rated it higher than Suspiria.
