I've never managed to see it though.
The last time I looked was when Isaw Deep Red on the Redemption vhs.,

Indeed, there is a very clever 'blink and you'll miss it' shot of the killer in Deep Red. I have the original uncut ABUS release ( the one with the 'skeleton' cover ). It's a superb film - you should upgrade to dvd Vipco ( the Redemption edition was slightly cut ).

I've gone with Deep Red and Suspiria - the latter is still Argento's masterpiece for me. Also enjoyed Tenebrae and Four Flies... but Inferno is my third choice

I'm surprised Phenomena hasn't got more votes... 3?!?!?!? That's harsh.

I second what Mojo has just said, the Anchor Bay disc of Deep Red is a real winner.

PROFONDO ROSSO/DEEP RED just edges it over SUSPIRIA and TENEBRAE for me....the two versions I own are pictured below.
The German 3 disc version is superb.....
DISC ONE:126 MIN DIR.CUT
DISC TWO DOCUMENTARY 105 MINS
DOCUMENTARY/INTERVIEWS ROME 2003 120 MINS
DISC THREE:SOUNDTRACK CD......which you all know is feckin superb!
5.1 DOLBY in GERMAN/ENGLISH/ITALIAN

Those 'Deep Red' covers are superb! Do you know where the one on the right hand side's available Reaper? I'd love to get my hands on a copy of that if it's still in print.

www.xploitedcinema.com and it's still in stock

But hurry,because Tony Simonelli is packing his bags shortly.
It's 44 dollars Hal plus postage which will equate out to about 25-30 quid,but as it's the 3 discer I mentioned,it's well worth it.The definitive version IMHO mate....

Phenomena's a classic-how many genres are fused into that one movie?

Nice one. Cheers mate, I'll definatley be picking up a copy of that. I was gonna go for the one in HMV (with the doll cover) but thats 17 quid on its own. Might as well splash out an extra tenner or so for the 3 discer. Cheers.

Folds out into a pattern and comes with a colour booklet mate-it's a real collector's item,one of my prized possessions!

It contains "Dario Argento's World Of Horror" doesn't it? I must admit I found that documentary to be dull to the extreme.

PS, if me and Tall Dude come and visit you one day he'll be distracting you while I run off with all your prized DVDs
