David Lynch

A unique director, perhaps yes, he has taken something from Fellini and Bunuel, but he remains one of the best directors since the 80s; he has created a highly recognizable stylistic signature, sickly atmospheres, and memorable characters. And to those who say he only makes incomprehensible films, take a look at that gem "The Straight Story." Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, and Blue Velvet are among my all-time favorite films.
