Tenebre. The really good kill cemented it as a classic (don't wanna spoil it for anyone). I much prefer Fulci to Argento because Dario tends to be artsy horror while Fulci's is more raw and more in the traditional horror sense. For example, The House by the Cemetery has some staples of atmospheric horror... the creepy house, the cemetery, etc... which are far more effective to me than the colored lights of Argento. The colored lights are very nice looking, don't get me wrong.

Suspiria is still the bloody victor. Phenomena is incidentally a close step behind, it is just a fun and exciting classic that never gets old. Besides Jennifer Connelly is spectacular, even though she is a mere 15 in the film. Tenebre would be a close third, followed by Deep Red. I haven't seen Argento's most recent work(Trauma, The Card Player, and Sleepless) but word has it they are bloody diahrea from the Italian guru.

Although I voted for PHENOMENA, DEEP RED (PROFONDO ROSSO)would be up there to. They're the only 2 I've seen, but I'll probably be buying TRAUMA & TENEBRE soon.

It's a bit of a throwback to the traditional giallo form. I enjoyed it quite a bit.

I voted for Suspiria. I saw this film for the first time about two weeks ago and just LOVED it. Easily one of my favorite horror films. The story is basically a fairy tale, and the vibe the film gives off is so surreal. The cinematography is beautiful. I love the way they played with the primary colors--simply breathtaking! And I can't even begin to describe how much I love the score! I bought the limited edition 3-disc set, which is WELL worth its price. It includes the Goblin score and a documentary. The documentary adds so much to this film.
This is the only Argento film I've seen. I definitely need to check out more of his films. Given the results of this poll, I think I'll check out Phenomena and Tenebre next.

Phenomena is a good one. I've seen bits and pieces of suspiria, liked what I saw, and still hav'ent seen the whole damn thing yet! However, I'll be checking at this store I saw it in once, if it's still there, yoink!

Uncle_Ash - You forgot one of his best movies "Demons" and "Demons 2"
Demons 2 - I saw this movie many times and i still think is a very great and kick-ass movie
Suspiria - it's a really great movie. Also one of mine favorite movies.

I voted for Phenomena. I love the way he shoots nature in the film. Very crisp and refreshing. I like Jennifer Corvino as a character. I think she's one of Argento's strongest heroines, and I like her defiant attitude mixed with her inquisitiveness. And that waterfall sequence is one of the greatest scenes he ever filmed.
That said, I also adore Tenebre. And Suspiria. And Opera. And Deep Red. It's so hard to choose!

I chose Opera. Love that bullet through the peephole scene.
