Eh, I'm probably the only one here that's got an Argento fetish.
I have to say, there's a handful of names here I've never heard of: Pietro Germi, Vittorio De Seta [Honest to God, when I was scanning the list, I thought you mistyped "De Sica" :-) ], Dino Risi [Didn't he just lose to Christine Gregoire? (dumb Seattle joke)], Ettore Scola, Francesco Rosi, Giuseppe De Santis, Alessandro Blasetti, Gabriele Salvatores, and Giovanni Pastrone.
Guess I got some gaps in my education that need filling!
I'll second that Argento fetish -- hell, I even dig "Inferno"...
And while I'm nitpicking, isn't Francesco Rosi better known for "Salvatore Giuliano" and "Christ Stopped at Eboli" than for his extremely obscure adaptation of a lesser Marquez novel?
Criminy, I've never heard of either of those movies either. I guess if it doesn't involve young women either brutally killed with knives or named Monica Vitti, I know nutzink about Italian cinema.
A to the R to the Gento.
Argh, dammit! Dario Argento...and I thought I had all of those listologists'd think about...

Actually I chose the films in parantheses randomly.
