How many horror/mystery movies have you seen where the climax takes place in an archives? Not many, eh? Well, why don't you start with Dario Argento's Profondo Rosso [or Deep Red if you speak English] (1975). Not only will you get people alternating from English to Italian for no real reason, a cool soundtrack by Goblin, lots of really awesome deaths (death by hot bathwater! death by elevator!), creepy drawings, abandoned houses, and David Hemmings (the dude from Blow Up). You also get a little girl saying "One day I was bad at school and as punishment I had to clean up the archives" AND an extended archives scene.The documents, however, are not handled properly.

This is one of my all-time favorite movies! The extended version is even better than the original. The language changes because they couldn't find the original language audio for the re-added scenes and had to use a different audio track. Or something like that.
That makes sense -- first I thought it had something to do with the characters, but everyone was switching back and forth. And the person they got to dub the Italian for David Hemmings had a very different voice from him, which made things extra odd.
