    I've been watching a lot of Italian crime films recently, these are all recommended:

    Damiano Damiani: How To Kill A Judge
    Sergio Sollima: Revolver - what a powerful film!
    Pasquale Festa Campanile: Hitch-Hike
    Sergio Martino: Mannaja - a later Italo-western, but IMO one of the genre's best
    Enzo G. Castellari: The Big Racket
    Enzo G. Castellari: The Inglorious Bastards - not Castellari's best, but an enjoyable war flick nevertheless

    Don't Look Now is great, especially if you get to see it in a theater.

    Enzo G. Castellari

    Don't forget the classic early 80s post-Apocolypse rip-off trilogy of his! 1990: The Bronx Warriors even had a drum part.

  • Ok- so i now it was released in 1981 but the story was written and it was set in 70's australia. You gotta check PUBERTY BLUES!! Cult Classic hear of teenage life in Sydney's burbs!! Sex, drugs, drinking, pregnancy and it helped popularise the term "fish-faced mole"!!

    possibly because i watched TD too much when younger, i'd be more likely to rewatch Blue Collar or Yazuka these days.
