Seen: 1*

Rank order:
Black Sunday (1960)
* - I know I've seen more of these years ago, but there just part of a big blob of bad B movies that I can't recall or tell apart at this point.

Would like to see Blood and Black Lace, The Whip and the Body, Danger: Diabolik, the 70's giallo's, and maybe a sex comedy or two.
Just checked Netflix to see if I'd seen any I couldn't remember and I hadn't, but I didn't realize Netflix had so many of his films available.

You've missed out on several of his movies in your original list, Jim!
Even if Bava is my favorite Euro-Cult director, I've watched most of his films only once and still need to catch up with quite a few, especially THE EVIL EYE (1962), PLANET OF THE VAMPIRES (1965) and KILL, BABY, KILL! (1966)  . You may say that all 3 of these, for example, are available on DVD already so there's really no need for me to hold out on them but, at least 2 of them are dubbed in English (I'm fluent in Italian so, obviously, I'd prefer to watch them in their original language) and 1 of them is only available via public domain/budget DVDs! Hopefully, those upcoming Anchor Bay remasters aren't only a rumor...

I haven't counted uncredited/co-directed films in the previous 160ish Director lists (with one exception) so since I don't claim to be a Mario Bava expert my info is only as good as what I get from IMDB.
