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.

I second The Bird with the Crystal Plumage, a bit more straightforward than Argento's later stuff.
Also the earliest of Fulci's are easy to sit through: Perversion Story, Lizard in a Woman's Skin and Don't Torture a Duckling.
My faforite is perhaps The Red Queen Kills Seven Times (1972) also rather simple not too much beating around the bush.
