The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971)
With its art deco sets, over-the-top acting (especially by Vincent Price) and its let's-get-even plot, basing the killings on the Egyptian plagues, what's not to like? The film is a lovely bit of Grand Guignol and manages to amuse me every time I see it. But no one ever accused me of having really good taste! They really don't make them like this any more.

On the contrary, you have excellent taste! It may at times be weird and perhaps
perplexingly prolix though.
