Welcome to the place. Good to see another fan of the wrongly bashed Opera.

No place in particular, just generally. Many consider it a lesser Argento and the term "hit and miss" is common is reference to it. I think it's by far his most even and well moving film. Though his best will always be Tenebtre in my opinion.

I think Opera is one of Argento's best films. In fact I can't imagine where it missed. But I got to go with the sort of majority and say I think Suspiria will always be his best. Tenebre's awesome but it just doesn't have the right balance.
