Three of the pre-Bird co-written films are available on youtube. I'll post links in case anyone is interested:

Today it's me...Tomorrow it's you (1968):

The Five Man Army (1969):


I love Five Man Army, it's derivative but still good fun. The Morricone soundtrack is one of my favourites too, the song from the scene where the villagers mourn the execution victims is amazing.

Whilst I certainly wouldn't rave about it, I did enjoy 'Five Man Army.' I'll definitely pick it up on dvd to add to my Argento collection. And yes, the Morricone score was a big plus.

I watched 'Today it's me...Tomorrow it's you' and sadly, wasn't very impressed. It didn't compare at all well to 'Five Man Army'. Probably an unfair comparison as TIMTIY was obviously very much made on the cheap.

Watched the first 20 mins of 'Probability Zero' (will finish it later tonight) and was interested by 2 things: that it was produced by Salvatore Argento and that it featured later Argento regular, Fulvio Mingozzi in yet another very brief role.

I found out that the Tony Musante starring, 'The Love Circle' was also available on Italian dvd but sadly it isn't English friendly. That's disappointing as an English dub (and an English version of a Morricone track) was actually created for the film.

So that's six of the thirteen pre-Bird, Dario Argento co-written 1960's films that are currently available on dvd or blu-ray (Once Upon A Time In The West, The Five Man Army, Today it's me...Tomorrow it's you, Probability Zero, Commandos and The Love Circle).

It were a horse race Deep Red would come in 1st by like a second or so. Love Suspiria but that ol girl doesn't quite have enough against Deep Red. Tenebrae would finish in 3rd just off by hair from Suspiria. Phenomena in 4th. Four Flies on Grey Velvet(which doesn't get enough love compared to Argento's other work) in fifth. All his others range from enjoyable to pretty freaking weak.

Confused. What does 'uncut' actually mean? Does it somehow contain additional violence or is it just the version that we're already used to?

From memory US theatrical 35mm prints were a cut R rated version from original release, running 92 minutes. However what we've been seeing for years in the digital era has always been the uncut version.

Kind of similar to Creepers and the Hatchet Murders (Deep Red).

It's the same version that's been available here for years, but the first time it's been released theatrically uncut on 35mm in the US

Apparently the Suspiria remake is nearly 3 hours long!

It sounds pretty interesting to be honest, that run time is too long though...
