The Chameleon - a dramatic re-telling of the same story covered in the recent(ish) documentary called 'The Imposter' (seemingly with a few artistic liberties taken). If you have seen neither film, I would strongly suggest seeking out 'The Imposter' first but 'The Chameleon' is a well made and acted account of what is a fascinating tale. If you see it cheap (I got my copy from Poundland), this is worth a look.
Two Evil Eyes - first time I have watched this in a long time but my opinion is pretty much the same ... Romero's segment is woefully overlong (like an extended episode of 'Tales from the Crypt') and Argento's 'The Black Cat' is a mess, despite some nice visual touches and a decent performance from Harvey Keitel. Overall, palatable enough but I can see myself leaving it equally as long before watching it again.
