^though a lot of bad clones followed, I can't be mad at Scream for actually granting new slashers/etc a green light. Sure there was plenty of bad flicks, but I'm sure other brilliant films like Ginger Snaps would have never happened had it not been for the success of Scream.

amazing. that dog scene scared the shit outta me. my only problem is that argento films SO well. his cinematography is some of the most exquisite that ive seen, but, the dialogues are recorded so poorly that the acting just seems off at times. and the sound was mixed so terribly. i had my finger on the volume button the whole time, because you could barely hear them talk, but when someone gets murdered the volume and music would go way up.
but other than that he is amazing.
i have seen so far
suspiria
profondo rosso
the bird with chrystal plumage and this
what should i see next of his. i want to see opera. is that any good?

Good, another Argento fan. I wore his films out a long time ago and was super disappointed with all his recent flicks except Mother of Tears. Here's Argento flicks, in order, in my opinion; take it for what it's worth:

1. Tenebre
2. Deep Red
3. Opera
4. Stendhal Syndrome
5. Trauma
6. his half of Two Evil Eyes; the George Romero half is one of the worst things ever filmed by anyone EVER
7. Phenomena
8. Bird with the Crystal Plumage
9. Suspiria
10. Cat O'Nine Tails
11. Mother of Tears
12. Four Flies on Grey Velvet
13. Sleepless
14. Inferno
15. The Card Player
16. Jennifer
17. Do You Like Hitchcock?
18. Pelts
19. Phantom of the Opera

Never saw 5 Days in Mulan, though I'm pretty sure no one in America has.

As with most directors, I tend to gravitate towards their more artful, "weirder" stuff, so yeah, Opera is fucking amazing, though a lot of people will tell you otherwise. It has his most surreal moments ever. It was also the first film of his I saw.. I picked it up at a Big Lots 7 years ago. BIG LOTS. Dunno if you have one of those there but holy shit. They get weird, fucked-up movies there occasionally. No idea what this was doing there.. I bought Opera, Maniac, Sleepaway Camp, and a Sex Pistols documentary on the same day at BIG LOTS. Man. I love Big Lots.

...

But yeah, I fucking love Opera. It's too good.... Tenebre's his best, though. It's brutal, visually compelling, just perfect. Opera has some slow moments but just for some of the camera angles alone, it's worth it. As for his newer films, Stendhal Syndrome is his most brutal film probably. Rape and 3D bullets and all kinds of weird shit. Mother of Tears was a decent return to form, featuring a nice steel pole vagina rape, the best since cannibal holocaust. It ended up being a goofy parody of his films but it was entertaining.

I seem to be in the minority of people who thinks Opera is a masterpiece and Inferno is a boring, slow, worthless piece of shit for most of its length, besides some cool set pieces and the oversaturated colors (and the camera work by Mario Bava in a few scenes; I can tell the scenes he filmed because they're the best scenes in the movie!).

Argento is a very inconsistent director who has made a lot of bullshit but he has at least 5 GREAT films and I love him.

You'd honestly rate Stendhal Syndrome above Suspiria?

Yeah. I think Suspiria totally falls apart in the end and it's a bit boring aside from the first killing and the oversaturated colors. I'm not a big fan of "witch stories" and such, maybe that's what it is. I just always found it a wee bit overrated. Stendhal Syndrome is gritty, dirty, nasty, bizarre, etc. I like it way better.

suspiria has some of the best colors ever...but i can see how they can be a bit much. i will say that suspiria's problem is one of the first scenes has one of the greatest killing scenes, ever and almost nothing else in the movie compares to it (except maybe the scene with the girl traped in the wire)

Right. That's exactly how I felt. I mean, the first death scene, in my mind, is the BEST. I mean, jesus, I wish some talented directors had scene that (instead of, uhm, Lamberto Bava and some other fucking hacks) and been like "Holy shit, mixing art film aesthetics with brutal, graphic horror... sounds good!" I did see a part of a Troma film a few years ago, and I can't remember the name of it.. I think it was BEG!, but from what I saw, the whole thing was oversaturated and artful as fuck. Art/horror is a genre that needs to be explored more and definitely hasn't been, except by some pretty extreme examples.. clean shaven (which is KIND OF horror), sombre, begotten...

Fugazifan, I've been watching some older Lars von Trier films, you seem like you'd be into him given your tastes though you may already be, I dunno, I can't remember, he's been mentioned a lot on this thread so...

I'm a big Argento fan. Though he has some films that misfire plot-wise. DO YOU LIKE HITCHCOCK comes to mind for instance. His execution (colors, angles, and so on) is always great though.

My Name Is Bruce. It was okay, the villain was a terrible looking puppet that couldn't even move, but his theme song was the best part of the movie.
