The Three Mothers
I think most of us has seen Dario Argento's "three mothers" trilogy of films. As they are very different I'm curious as to which people here like the most. I mean the mother not the film. For the record I know Argento took inspiration from Thomas De Quincey's book but I haven't read it-if anyone has please let me know. Anyway who do you choose:-
Mother Of Sighs (from Suspiria 1977) Mother Of Darkness (from Inferno 1980) Mother Of Tears (The Third Mother 2007)

Mater Tenebrarum seemed to have the most personality.

I really think the story surrounding Mater Suspiriorum was the coolest though. She's not all that interesting if you just watch Suspiria, but after finishing the trilogy you find out why she was so weak, and it makes the ending of Suspiria so much more awesome.

Yeah I was thinking in terms of character, personality and presence. So for me I voted for Mater Tenebrarum-to me she is the one that leaves the best impression on the viewer. She has the most mystique and throws open all sorts of other questions-like what were the phases that she threatened to take Mark through in Inferno? She is also the most sinister as being an embodiment of death. I think you can watch all three films and still learn so much from them with repeated viewings as already pointed out there was more to Mater Suspiriorum than at first seemed. I also think the Three Mothers Trilogy touches on the subject of metaphysics quite beautifully which is an integral reality to many myths and legends.

I attempted 1 time(the odd coloring turned me off). I have a very hard time watching movies pre-1980(black and white totally turns me off). I haven't seen many "classics". Yes, I realize this makes me sound like a fool but its how I roll.

Mother Of Sighs is my favorite. I just love the scenes in Susperia where she is on screen.
