I always thought ist was unspoken label-philosophy to focus on italian films of the respective era whether they be Gialli or any other genre.
Yes, we maybe have different definitions of "gialli". I still think Amsterdamned is never near to ist. I agree it't a "whodunnit", but a classical, clean one where the Police always has the control and where the culprit is almost known from the start.
I reckon there must be several other films that would fit much netter in the catalogue and which haven't seen any decent DVD-Release yet.
