Deep Red (Profondo rosso) (The Hatchet Murders) (1975,  R)
Deep Red (Profondo rosso) (The Hatchet Murders)
The ultimate giallo. There's no need to say more, it's one of the best movies ever made.

A Lizard in a Woman's Skin (Una Lucertola con la pelle di donna) (1971,  Unrated)
3
Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh) (1971,  R)
Lo strano vizio della Signora Wardh (The Strange Vice of Mrs. Wardh)
One of the best giallos ever made, with the sexy Edwige Fenech in the lead role. This one has it all: stylish direction, good music, a fair amount of nudity and blood, and a lot (And I mean A LOT) of plot twists.
Very recommended to Italian horror fans!

L'assassino è costretto ad uccidere ancora (The Killer Must Kill Again)
Cristina Galbó is in it, damnit! Instant classic. Well, out of that it's a very competent giallo, among the bests of the genre. It may not have too much style, but an original plot and great acting makes it, well, great! Watch it.

Great giallo! It has some very well staged murder scenes, original story, above average acting, sleaze, Morricone score AND the most beautiful woman in cinema: Cristina Galbó. Worth watching just for her! ;)
