Michele Soavi

Pals with Dario Argento and Terry Gilliam, Italian filmmaker of similar stripe.

Cemetery Man (1994) -- The original title of this is Dellamorte Dellamore, which is a much better title since it deals with equal parts death and love and gives the proper Italian feel. The movie was based on a graphic novel, and it definitely has that pulpy humor and masculinity. The entire thing is enjoyable to watch, even if the conclusions drawn are not always satisfactory. Good humor, cool lead character, lip-tastic and boobalicious love interest.
