I understand you, bro. diaderusu. here's how I roll with directors:
George A. Romero
David Lynch
John Carpenter
David Cronenberg
They've all changed cinema with their own unique perspective. As far as I know they also respect each other's work which seems pretty cool to me. I once asked George Romero what he thought about Lynch and he told me he totally loved all of his works. Both Carpenter and Cronenbergs brought something from Romero's style (but who didn't, since that faithful night in 1968?)... a list of my faves:
THE DEAD ZONE, SCANNERS, NAKED LUNCH (Cronenberg)
MULLHOLLAND DR, LOST HIGHWAY, BLUE VELVET (Lynch)
THEY LIVE, PRINCE OF DARKNESS, IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS (Carpenter)
The DEAD Quadrilogy (haven't seen DIARY yet, for fuck's sake fucking Italy!!!) MONKEY SHINES, MARTIN, THE CRAZIES (Romero)
all of their stuff pretty much rocks anyway. lovin' em...
