Top Giallos

What were the greatest giallos (or reasonable facsimiles)? My favorites so far:

The Bird With The Crystal Plumage
Profondo Rosso
Tenebre
And Soon The Darkness
The House That Screamed

There are an intimidating amount of giallos out there. What were the must-sees?

Other than the above mentioned films I love the following ones:
  1. A Bay of Blood aka Twitch of the Death Nerve
  2. Opera
  3. Your Vice Is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key
  4. Blood and Black Lace
  5. Don't Torture A Duckling
  6. Stagefright
  7. Dressed To Kill
  8. Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion
  9. Red Queen Kills 7 Times
  10. What have they done to your daughters?
  11. Pieces
  12. Lizard in a Woman's Skin
  13. Spasmo
  14. What Have They Done To Solange?
  15. Seven Blood-Stained Orchids
  16. The Strange Vice of Mrs Wardh
  17. The Black Belly of the Tarantula
  18. A Blade In The Dark

I really need to see few of them again as I almost starts to forgetting about the kills and some major portion of the story.

Btw, I think we already have several discussion threads about Giallo films here. This is one of them. But I never get tired to making a list about them as it's my one of the very favorite sub genre of Horror.

Isn't there a new Argento movie out called Giallo and starring Adrien Brody? I'm a little ashamed to say I haven't seen it yet, being a huge Argento fan, but it'd definitely be worth a watch.

The best giallo I saw recently was Bird with the Crystal Plummage.

One of the forum member was a cowriter on Giallo - I've not seen though.

Excellent! I bet he got to meet Dario Argento. I wonder if he has any memoribilia he'd sell me for my collection. What was his name?
