CaliggyJack: Dario Argento Ranked

CaliggyJack 03.04.23	I said earlier that I would make a top 20 Argento list... The irony is not lost on me
BAT 03.04.23	:). surprised you've got four flies so near the top i've always considered it more of a deep-cut, good ass movie tho. top 8 are peak argento tho, would put 6-7 lil higher but they all go handinhand for me. is dark glasses worth ordering for 14 bux? atm i'm also missing evil eyes/card/phantom/dracula not sure which one to order next. i'm thinkin about building up my fulci collection next but he's got a surprising amount of 60s italian comedies & spaghetti westerns. his few giallo movies are actually really good though
rockarollacola 03.04.23	Dracula 3D #1
CaliggyJack 03.04.23	"is dark glasses worth ordering for 14 bux?" Oh yea. It's an absolute return to form. "Dracula 3D #1" It's worth watching solely for Rutger Hauer as Van Helsing.
Hyperion1001 03.04.23	honestly mostly agree except for deep red would be a top 3 for me.
botb 03.04.23	No demons trilogy? This is pleb shit
Hyperion1001 03.04.23	he didn’t direct any of those. I think at least the first two are lamberto bava.
botb 03.04.23	¯_(ツ)_/¯ he wrote and produced em, good enough for me
CaliggyJack 03.04.23	Directing list only lmfao
PotsyTater 03.04.23	Mother of tears is one of the worst movies ever made
PotsyTater 03.04.23	I haven’t seen any of the movies you have ranked lower than it but damn. If they are worse than that I really don’t want to
CaliggyJack 03.05.23	Man hard disagree I love Mother of Tears
TalonsOfFire 03.05.23	I’ve only seen four. Loved Inferno, liked Suspiria well enough but the bad acting and dubbing was very distracting. Deep Red was ok but kinda disappointing. Phenomena was pretty tedious but had one of the greatest endings ever. Might watch more sometime.
PotsyTater 03.05.23	Mother of tears is a solid 0/10 and that’s being generous
PotsyTater 03.05.23	It’s an insult to everything Argento did for the genre
BAT 03.05.23	90s argentos a little less random than mother of tears/more straight foward giallo type stuff. and talons watch tenebrae&opera, almost all 70s-80s italian movies are dubbed over[even the italian tracks] soo it's just something i've grown to appreciate. out of curosity what'd you think of his masters of horror episodes? i'd put them as some of the most entertaining episodes in the series buut i'd also call jennifer one of the most absurd things he's ever released lol. and i've ordered dark glasses
PotsyTater 03.05.23	More like less shit and more not garbage I would hope
PotsyTater 03.05.23	Are there cyber goths and genital mutilation for no reason?
BAT 03.05.23	trauma/stend/sleepless are 'Interesting.' i would say his 70s/80s movies are higher quality but those three are a bit more concise tonally than mother of tears. mot is more of an extravaganza by comparison, depends on taste tho i thought mot was somewhere between entertaining and a let-down in terms of a followup to inferno/suspiria.
PotsyTater 03.05.23	Its an extravaganza alright… Of terrible cgi, extremely cringe aesthetic choices, and gratuitous bullshit Imagine becoming renowned for your ground breaking special effects and stylish and aesthetic set pieces only to cap your iconic horror trilogy with the worst cgi of all time and Lana wachowski tier fashion sensibilities
PotsyTater 03.05.23	The idea of argento making a film so bad he had to stoop to the level of smooth brain shock value content to sell it is just pathetic to me and made me lose a tonne of respect
BAT 03.05.23	lmao i've still gotta watch resurrections but i'm a bit worried its shit, starting to think bound might be the wachowskis best moment. and i'd put phantom of the opera as worse than mother at least but it's still something i can get a laugh out of. just for shits and giggles you ought to watch argentos masters of horror episode 'jennifer' cause i'm sure it'll peak your bullshit-o-meter. dracula 3d is one i've not seen but the trailers look lower than asylum quality lol
PotsyTater 03.05.23	Credit where it is due, the singular redeeming quality of that film is the long shot corridor scene
PotsyTater 03.05.23	If it evokes a laugh that’s something, I prefer so bad it’s entertaining to just offensively bad ya know? Sounds fun I will peep it
TalonsOfFire 03.05.23	Yeah I’m thinking of checking out his first 3, Tenebre, Opera, Mother of Tears because supernatural shenanigans, and Dark Glasses. They’re all on streaming. Everything after Opera looks bad.
PotsyTater 03.05.23	If you want to ruin the three mothers trilogy by all means peep mother of tears
Brabiz 03.05.23	8 or 7 are the best to me. Everything else is good, but I don’t think anything else he’s done has been as effective as those. Fulci > Argento every day
Hyperion1001 03.05.23	ive never seen any of them post opera. ive heard stendhal is decent but ive never bothered
asanisimasa 03.05.23	damn deep red is low. then again i havent seen that many of his movies
someguest 03.05.23	21: asia
budgie 03.05.23	just comin in to say demons i, ii, and cemetery man, are dope italian horros
TalonsOfFire 03.09.23	Watching Mother of Tears and am convinced it’s a comedic masterpiece. Tried a couple other movies but thought they were pretty bad.
