Amer is amazing in style but unfortunately has almost no plot. The next giallo on my viewing list is the infamous "L'immoralita". Not a 100% giallo but any killer+70s+italian combination can be called giallo I guess.

From memory, that sounds like the opening scene from Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key.

Also, what are the goriest and most explicit giallo films can you recommend? After all, apart from the soundtrack and luxurious 70s Italian settings and beautiful women, we all know why we REALLY like giallo. ;)

Probably the most extreme Giallo out there is Giallo a Venezia. Utterly demented and very twisted and extremely violent. Definitely worth seeking out - it's a one-of-a-kind.

Now really think about this but would you class Miss Marple, Murder She Wrote etc as giallo (tame giallo) because it has most of the makings of the genre

Any murder / mystery is classed as Giallo in Italy. An example -

This is true,the Italians classify a lot more as gialli.

"For Italian audiences, the term 'giallo' is used to refer to any kind of thriller, regardless of where it was made. Thus American or British thrillers by directors such as Alfred Hitchcock (eg, Psycho, Vertigo) or Basil Dearden (eg, The Blue Lamp, Sapphire) are, for Italian-speaking audiences, examples of gialli. For English-speaking audiences, the term has over time come to refer to a very specific type of Italian-produced thriller. Italian audiences have historically referred to these films as, rather than gialli, 'thrilling all'italiana' (in other words, thrillers in an Italian style/Italian-style thrillers) or, sometimes, 'spaghetti thrillers'. So, for Italian audiences, the term 'giallo' denotes a broad genre (the thriller), and the term 'thrilling all'italiana' denotes the specific subgroup of films (a subgenre) that have come to be known by English-speaking viewers as gialli."

I knew this, I was just winding him up :)
Although I didn't think Jessica Fletcher qualified
