I didn't like any of Edgar Wright's movies until Baby Driver
Whereas I liked them all up until that one. What a disappointment.

It's sort of amazing all the monsters that you can just dig up in London.
Dragons (Reign of Fire)
Also, why the fuck did Charles II not put a warning on that tomb? Kind of inconsiderate, don't you think? Typical monarchs not carrying about the common people.
Well, at least Hooliganism triggered their cognitive memory.
To be 100% honest, I didn't like any of Edgar Wright's movies until Baby Driver -- which hurts badly since I feel like I should like them and Edgar has a really cool taste in cinema from all the interviews I've seen about him.
I just don't find them funny.
New York ripper and....?
Personally, my favorite films of his are:
Massacre Time (Spaghetti Western that is almost like a proto-John Woo film at points, complete with white doves and all)
Conquest (not sure I should admit this though)
The Beyond (Conventional choice)
People also tend to like Lizard in a Woman's Skin (great title, don't watch if you're a dog person) and Don't Torture a Duckling (horrible title, but probably his most "conventionally" good in terms of having a theme and message and all).

I still liked Baby Driver, but yeah, it's not as good as his older stuff.
Absolutely fabulous b-movie! Some Italian barbarian movies flirt with fantastic elements more interestingly than the US Conan rip-offs, but Conquest delivers in that department 100%.Conquest (not sure I should admit this though)
Great title, boring movie.People also tend to like Lizard in a Woman's Skin
Come on! You make it sound lame. Corman's The Intruder was not a thrilling movie because it had a theme and a message. It was a thrilling because it had William Shatner as womanizing neo-nazi on an egotrip. I've seen Duckling twice and I have forgotten the theme long time ago, but I have not forgotten, that it's a well written, nasty and unique piece of italo horror.Don't Torture a Duckling (horrible title, but probably his most "conventionally" good in terms of having a theme and message and all).
After Helsinki cinemateque screening of early 70's sex comedy Senator Likes Women there was a wide consensus among audience, that we had just seen a bonafide Lucio Fulci movie even thought there was no violence in it at all.Yeah he's the auteur of doing horrible things to eyeballs.
Well, I admit, that sounds like something Fulci could say.Didn't he have a quote saying something like "When the eyes have seen to much... they have to go".
Argento and Martino both have enough mannerisms to qualify, but I'm not too fond of either of them. Renato Polselli is along Fulci the other Italian who has managed to present his obsessions on the screen in appropriately outrageously but yet in non-obvious way.Who else would you add to that list? Argento? Bava? Lamerto? Soavi? Surely not that overrated trollop Sergio Martino!?
