argento's finest hour
 

just thought i'd try and clear this up once and for all. feel free to argue for and against any of the movies in the poll. i personally believe suspiria to be his best work. its a triple threat in that it attacks you visually, aurally and mentally. visually i think it is unsurpassed in its genre and that jingle is creepy:eek:

Dario didnt direct Demons, but it a whole lot more fun to watch then any of the other films listed IMO.

fair comment. i'm waiting for the demons 1&2 boxset with huge anticipation. haven't seen 1 for ages and i've never seen 2.

Profondo Rosso, for sure.

It may be becuase of the movies mentioned Suspiria is my most recently watched, but I was so blown away by it that I can't possibly see my vote going in any other direction. Suspiria, my hats off to you.

I voted for Suspiria,but like Moth I really like Demons which strictly speaking is Bava's.Btw if you liked Demons you will like Demons II it is much of the same in more ways than one.

Deep Red



Have you seen "Do You Like Hitchcock?"It's pretty good.

No Terror At The Opera or Creepers?

For me, it's Tenebre, but Profondo Rosso is a close second

Oh, Suspiria, most definitely. Profondo Rosso aka Deep Red comes a close second...then Tenebre, and Demons.

Suspiria

Just watched Demons last week again. A fun ride

i'll check it out. funny, its one of his movies that never gets mentioned. suppose i assumed it mustn't be that good. the proof of the pudding...

Huge Argento fan here, I can usually find something to love about his films. My favorite is Tenebre. I also love Suspiria, its opening is about as good as it gets, but I don't care for the ending.
Opera is another of my favorites, but I just have no idea what was going on with that ending. Some great death scenes though.

profondo rosso

i just watched it last night and the ending (SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER)
would've been much better if the girl hadn't have been bluffing. then her and the killer could've gone of on a 'wave of mutilation'. i just thought it was weird how she started rolling around on the grass loving the world thirty feet away from all those cops just after watching her friend being butchered.:confused: :eek: :confused: :eek: :confused:

Profondo Rosso all the way. Roast duck, baby!

The Bird with the Crystal Plumage...

It's "Phenomena" in my opinion which you forgot to put on the poll.

You're right,this poll is biased!:D

:p Yeah, its goofy as hell. Its such a great movie until then. The first time I watched it, I was just.......confused. Now I just accept it....;) though I have to say, I don't think it would have knocked Tenebre out as my favorite, but may have come VERY close if not for that ending.

phenomena? when was that released? would it be known as something else in the uk?

initially released as creepers

Deep Red
Great movie

I prefer the Creepers cut of Phenomena because it doesn't drag on and on and on and on...

I love Tenabre, but Deep Red is my fave

I'm sure he has a few tricks up his sleeve... maybe even a cool new flick in the works

Perhaps by an aspiring up and coming screenwriter?



hmmmm




maybe

Deep Red, most definitely.


Well...he is the master of the Giallo, after all :p

Suspiria for me. I still get really shakey when I watch it.

Is there still no ink or blood or tears?

wait'll you hear about the cast!

Haven't seen any of 'em except Demons...and I doubt his others aren't better than that.

I hope the movie is as suspenseful as you are.......:rolleyes:

I voted for Deep Red. I like the plot more than Suspiria and I think it is more frightening than Tenebrae. I don't count Demons as an Argento picture, even though it was co-written by him.
