I guess I haven't seen 'Opera'...Odd though, I REALLY thought I'd seen it...Unless I've just completely forgotten it...I believed that I had seen almost every 'Phantom of the Opera' movie...The last one I watched had Robert Englund in it...I still can't convince myself that I have never watched Argento's version (in fact, I could have sworn that I OWN it)...I'll definitely have to look into that
I definitely have never watched Ichi, so that makes perfect sense
@ V: If 12 is 'The Thing', I just don't remember that scene, but it seems like a scene I would remember...Then again, I haven't watched 'The Thing' in years...You did mean Carpenter's version, didn't you?
Thanks for all your help guys, you're awesome :)

19 is something which is right at the tip of my tongue. I am sure it will come to me when I am in the middle of something...
Opera is a kickass giallo. One of the very best that Argento made, and certainly one of the best of the 80s. You really need to see it. And make it a point to watch Ichi the Killer too, even though its not really horror.
Yes that's the Carpenter version of The Thing. Thats when Norris appears to have had a stroke and Copper tries to revive him by zapping him. It turns out that the Thing had taken Norris's shape and his abdomen opens out, chomping Copper's hands off.
And thanks to Z for the two others which I couldnt get.

Then 11 years later, he decided to adapt Phantom in it's entirety. Fucking awful movie...not only one of Argento's worst, but probably the worst take on Phantom that I've seen.

Ditto 100%. Julian Sands trainwrecked the Phantom's character, and the whole movie was a big fucking mess. One of the worst tributes ever made.
