Cool list. Gialli are great. I just wanted to note that Enzo G. Castellari's 'Cold Eyes of Fear' is not a giallo. It is a decent thriller though.

    I have only included COLD EYES OF FEAR on this list because of the opening nightclub scene. The similar home-invasion thriller THE KILLERS ARE OUR GUESTS is even better.
