I love the following;
BAY OF BLOOD
BLACK SUNDAY
BLACK SABBATH
SHOCK
RABID DOGS
BLOOD AND BLACK LACE
PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES

The following I like;
THE GIRL WHO KNEW TOO MUCH
LISA AND THE DEVIL
HOUSE OF EXORCISM
WHIP AND THE BODY
KILL BABY KILL
BARON BLOOD
FIVE DOLLS FOR AN AUGUST MOON

Okayish;
HATCHET FOR THE HONEYMOON
DANGER DIABOLIK
I VAMPIRI

Some of the posters below sum up his films perfectly.
I'll follow suit.

My personal faves:

Shock
Baron Blood
Black Sunday
Black Sabbath
Kill, Baby Kill
Blood And Black Lace

and Planet Of The Vampires

The above all worthy of repeated viewings!

Bava titles i enjoy:

Rabid Dogs
House Of Exorcism
Lisa And The Devil
The Whip And The Body

and The Girl Who Knew Too Much

Certainly not time wasted watching these aforementioned efforts!

Imo average Bava below:

Bay Of Blood
Danger Diabolik
Hatchet For The Honeymoon

and Five Dolls For An August Moon

The above definitely viewable more than once but not umpteen times over!

Never seen I Vampiri yet and i've noticed how nobody has mentioned Roy Colt And Winchester Jack, Four Times That Night and Dr. Goldfoot And The Girl Bombs (didn't Bava direct this one?).

Let's face it we generally only associate Bava with horror and nothing else!
