For me it would be Suspiria first, then Inferno (I'm waiting for The Third Mother, though with Dario's recent track record and a few comments he recently made- about how this one will be different than the other two, and about how its being tailored for a modern audience, and all- I fear it could be a major dissapointment). The third would be Opera.

I like Suspira, the only other things I've seen were The Bird with the Chrystal Plumage and Pelts, neither of which I cared for. I'm not a big fan of Dario Argento, but then I probably haven't seen enough of his work, and that could be the reason.

A couple of options you should add are, "I've never seen any of his films" or "Who is Dario Argento?"

I would choose the first one as I've heard of the guy but have never seen any of his films.

I'd go with "Suspiria". The problem with Argento is that he makes gorgeous set pieces, but his films are quite uneven, even his best. I'd choose this one for the atmosphere, the visuals and the boldness of the whole concept.

Due to the horrifying nature of this film, no one will be admitted to the theatre.

I picked Opera because its the fast's paced Argento movie.
