Hello everyone,
For those of you who likes Giallis let's compile the biggest list of Giallo movies, preferably with the links or hints where we can download them.
As per Wikipedia-Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo], plural gialli) is an Italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language, however, it is used in a broader meaning that is closer to the French fantastique genre, including elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word giallo is Italian for "yellow", and stems from the origin of the genre as a series of cheap paperback novels with trademark yellow covers.
I suggest not only traditioonal Italian giallo, but Turkish, Spanish and whatever else maybe found.

For those of you who likes Giallis let's compile the biggest list of Giallo movies, preferably with the links or hints where we can download them.
As per Wikipedia-Giallo (Italian pronunciation: [ˈdʒallo], plural gialli) is an Italian 20th century genre of literature and film, which in Italian indicates crime fiction and mystery. In the English language, however, it is used in a broader meaning that is closer to the French fantastique genre, including elements of horror fiction and eroticism. The word giallo is Italian for "yellow", and stems from the origin of the genre as a series of cheap paperback novels with trademark yellow covers.
