    Handy is worse than Mikey from the Life commercials.

    Her film catalog does not appear to be all that impressive, but how the hell did I never hear of Edwige Fenech before? My goodness.

      I have mentioned her many times. She is a giallo legend. Her catalog is amazing:

      Five Dolls for an August Moon (one of Mario Bava's best movies)
      All the Colors of the Dark
      The Case of the Bloody Iris
      Your Vice is a Locked Room and Only I Have the Key
      Strip Nude for Your Killer

      She also did a whole series of sex farces called "the school teacher series" which I own and in all honesty have not watched because They Are Not Good or don't translate after 50 years or because I'm not 15.

      But her slasher movies are fantastic. If an Italian horror movie from the 70s does not have Gloria Guida naked in it, then it has Edwige naked in it.

      What did you see her in? Five Dolls is probably the best movie she's in. It's a 70's "swinging Italy" time capsule which is fun, but, especially if you know the genre, it's also a very sly and clever movie.

        I watched The School Teacher and when I looked up some of the others ("All the Colors..." for instance) they looked a bit campy. However on your recommendation I will look into some more and hope I find them as enjoyable as you did.

          Do you have any experience with gialllo? It's definitely an acquired taste but I now own about 50 of them and can make really tight recommendations based on what you like.

          I love the genre.

            Less than a handful. When I was in the U.S. and used Netflix for DVDs I went almost exclusively with foreign films. And although I didn't "target" gialllo films specifically but did end up with a few. The genre is definitely of interest.

              Welp, best strategy, as with the genre's stars, is get in their and start hacking.

              A lot of the fun is discovering how the films work, what the tropes are, how the directors and actors are putting their spin on it. It's like commedia del arte -- we all know the basic structure so it's not so much what happens but what style is demonstrated in getting there.

                Because I didnt like Toy Story 4? The other 3 are masterpieces...this was Disney pushing an unnecessary fourth film like a decade too late. Forky was cute, but the Woody story was dumb (Woody leaves all his friends to run around with a Streetwise Bo-Peep?) and was like an alternate version of Toy Story 2. I really wanted to like it...I was actually quite angry I didnt.

                Maybe if I had kids I would have liked it more...but then again the other 3 are great whether you had kids or not. Maybe it would be better if 3 wasnt the perfect ending to the story. (new kid but still all together even though Andy grew up) This was closer to a DVD extra film than anything else. Actually it might have been better that way. A bunch of 10 minute short films about Forky would have been much more enjoyable to watch.

                Toy Story 4 is the Jason Bourne of the Toy Story World
