L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo (The Bird With the Crystal Plumage) (1970,  PG)
L'uccello dalle piume di cristallo (The Bird With the Crystal Plumage)
Really fantastic Giallo and the birth of Dario Argento as a horror auteur.

Beautiful cinematography by Vittorio Storaro and shockingly, a story you can actually understand.

Il Gatto a Nove Code (The Cat o' Nine Tails) (1971,  PG)
Il Gatto a Nove Code (The Cat o' Nine Tails)
Decent Giallo from Argento. Couple of good kills, a great ending fight sequence and Karl Malden turning in an interesting performance

Four Flies on Grey Velvet (4 mosche di velluto grigio) (1971,  PG)

Door into Darkness (1974,  Unrated)

Deep Red (Profondo rosso) (The Hatchet Murders) (1975,  R)
Deep Red (Profondo rosso) (The Hatchet Murders)
Great Giallo... Argento is at the top of his game
6
Suspiria (1977,  R)
Suspiria
One of the most beautiful movie ever made. The last 3 strip techno-color film to be shot. Haunting and terrifying with a kick ass Goblin soundtrack
7
Inferno (1980,  R)
Inferno
Not nearly as good as Suspiria, but creepy with beautiful lighting.
8
Phenomena (Creepers) (1985,  R)
9
Opera (1987,  Unrated)
Opera
Worth seeing for the slow mo bullet through the eye shot alone.

Overall very effective and enjoyable., but marred by a ridiculous ending. The acting and story are also a little shoddy at times, but that's par for the course in this sub genre.

Argento's moving camera in this film is stunning. Easily on par with Scorcese & Ballhau's and Coen & Levinson's work.
