Your Argent-o-meter!

[iluvdvds@Cult Labs]

Since Cat O'Nine Tails was released on Blu-Ray yesterday (and I suspect it'll iprobably end up on DVD thanks to Arrowdrome some time soon) what better time to ask...

Where does this film fit in your Argento-O-Meter?

Is it right up the top along with Suspiria perhaps? Or right down low along with..dare I say it...Giallo!

What does your Argento-O-Meter look like if you had to choose - what films of his would be at the top, and which ones at the bottom?

im still lacking in the Argento area of filmic viewing but so far i rate the ones ive seen in this order starting at numero uno....

1 - Phenomena
2 - Bird With Crystal Plumage
3 - Suspiria
4 - Inferno

i have Tenebrae, Stendahl, Card Player and Deep Red to watch so this may change....

...and I appear to be in the minority for liking Trauma too

Yeah, I thought Phenomena was a big overlong mess, with a few decent bits here and there. The insect guff was stupid as hell . . .
