Fido i've only seen once. I loved it so much i'd hate to not like it as much second time around. I thought the same of The VVitch, however that definitely stood up just as well second time around. |

Many thanks to everyone who provided such varied and interesting lists about their favourite horror films from 2000-2009, demonstrating what a great decade it was for the genre and giving me some ideas of things to watch. In previous weeks you've given lists of your favourite gangster films, but I cannot think of one where it's been specifically about the Poliziotteschi, the predominantly 1970s Italian films involving a tough cop or detectives trying to break a criminal syndicate. Along with gialli and spaghetti westerns, these were immensely profitable and, judging by the output from cult film labels, are very popular with those who've been covering Italian film for many decades or those who are relatively new to Italian genre cinema.

The reason it was so late in being posted was because I spent some time wondering whether it would be too narrow and looking at all the films online which fit into the category and have been released by Shameless, 88 Films or Arrow Video and figured most people here should be able to list 10 or, if not, rank the ones they have seen.

I highly recommend Revolver, Heroin Buster and Gambling City. all well made and extremely entertaining. And with great casts as well including Fabio Testi, Luc Merenda and Oliver Reid

There are so many which haven't been released in the UK, at least in HD, and I'm sure would sell well.

the companies seem less reluctant to release them compared to the giallo type films. and a lot of the ones i have are DVD only imports which may now be deleted. Gambling City was on a label called NoShame and that is no longer available as far as i know. I have heard that Rome Armed to the Teeth is supposed to be coming out on bluray in the US, so maybe from 88 Films as well. ooh, and i will have to get The Climber. it is hopefully in the 5 for 30 deal at HMV

As for The Climber, I checked earlier and it is only in the 2 for £25 offer, not any cheaper yet.
