I love Argento. Got all his stuff in either uncut DVD or bootlegs. Even the damn comedy and fashion show he directed and the three spaghetti Westerns he wrote. The man is a cinematic poet, though his later stuff hasn't been up to snuff. Deep Red and Opera are my personal faves, though anything from that period is worth a watch. He's my second favorite Italian, right behind Leone. And I'm a HUGE fan of Italian pot-boilers!!!!!

American Brian DePalma also excels at the same kind of sleazy, artsy slasher--so if you like Argento, check out Body Double, Blow Out, Sisters, or Dressed To Kill.
