Deep Red popped up on Shudder and despite never really being wowed by the film, I decided to give it another shot. People really can change. I loved it!
So with that said...I was thinking....what giallo should I try next? Keep in mind I've seen a few before but many, many years ago so nearly anything would be watched with a fresh set of eyes. Rec me the best of the best, please. Not just some pretty cool-ish obscurity you wanna throw out, since I'm still skeptical this genre is even really for me.
Tenebrae is really the only giallo I can say I loved prior to this.

Without knowing what other gialli you've seen, I rec Argento's Phenomena and Opera. I've always ranked them among my favorites of the genre. If it counts as a giallo, there's StageFright (1987).
I find it hard to rec many, especially since you're looking for "the best of the best." I've seen a lot of gialli and while they're not all bad, most of them are far from what I'd consider the best of anything.
