Giallo Recommendations

I recently watched the Giallo inspired The Strange Colour Of Your Body's Tears (2013). It was a pretty interesting film. Reminded a lot of films like Deep Red and Opera except it was a little bit trippier.
Anyway, I was looking for more films like those Giallo movies.

I've only seen a few of them so far:
Deep Red
Tenebrae
Opera
The Bird With The Crystal Plummage

I know they're all Argento movies but do you guys have any recommendations?
I wanna watch more of these types of films so what are your favourite Giallos?

Love Giallos! You've already seen some classics, for sure.

Some that I highly reccomend,

Torso - Must MUST see.
Bay of Blood aka Twitch of Death Nerve.

You've seen some good Argento, but you have to see Suspiria.

Don't Torture a Duckling is not bad. I prefer Fulci's horror stuff though.

I second Bay of Blood. Bava is a little hard for me to stick with, but that one is full of great kills. Other than that film, I liked Black Sabbath since it's an anthology and the pieces are shorter. Not really giallo though - maybe one of the three is.

I'm adding Torso to my watchlist!

GF, when you have seen Torso, I hope you'll share your thoughts on the film. After the first time I watched, it was instantly one of my favorite movies.

I've seen Suspiria, great movie. Absolutely loved it. Didn't mention it on the list because it's more supernatural horror and not Giallo.
Turns out I've also seen Bay of Blood. I wasn't crazy about that one. Although I was very tired when watching it last Halloween, might need to watch it again.

What's this Torso I've been hearing about???

Will do, and looking forward to it!

For some reason, the Italian giallos have a tendency to lull me to sleep, but I'll recommend a couple non-Italian giallos (or giallo inspired) that I like:

Evil Dead Trap
In a Glass Cage

And a couple modern ones:

Amer
Beberian Sound System

Also, once you've seen enough to want to laugh at them, The Editor is a hilarious spoof, complete with horrendous dubbing and pointless nudity.

Oh man, it's great to see a mention of Amer. I love everything about that movie. True, not giallo, but a visual treat to say the least.
