Phenomena (1985) -
Great movie like all of Dario Argento's early work. Like many of his films he makes use of a strong Female lead, which of course is quite in contrast to Hollywood which almost never does this. Also, like his other paranormal movies (Suspiria and Inferno) there's no use whatsoever of Catholicism which is one of the other things that sets it apart from how Hollywood would have handled such themes or stories.
I'd describe this movie as a better way to go about the themes that Exorcist II tried to do, with respect to the fact that Argento's films never fall apart at the end and have consistent three act story structures.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
