My favorite director of horror films, absolutely. Didn't Welles declare him the greatest director of all time?
The Card Player (2004) Sleepless (2001) Phantom of the Opera (1998) 6/10 The Stendhal Syndrome (1996) 5/10 Trauma (1993) Two Evil Eyes (1990) (episode "The Black Cat") Opera (1987) Phenomena (1985) 8/10 Tenebre (1982) Inferno (1980) 6/10 Suspiria (1977) 10/10 Deep Red (1975) 8/10 The Five Days (1973) The Tram (1973) (TV) Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1971) The Cat o' Nine Tails (1971) 5/10 The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970) 6/10
Suspiria, of course, is my favorite, along with Phenomena and Deep Red, although a trusted friend tells me Tenebre is his best film. As much as Phantom of the Opera sucked, it also had an inspired side, and I would venture to say Argento is the first director to really crack the code of that story.
I've seen all of his work except for the two TV movies and THE CAT O' NINE TAILS, which I received from Netflix on Saturday. I tried watching it last night but they sent a bootleg and not the Anchor Bay disc.
