The Maverick that is David Lynch. Phenomenal catalogue of work with an innovative eye. Eraserhead will always be one of my favourite movies, utterly bizarre.
Controversial Takashi Miike. His fims are warped, twisted and dark. That's why I love them. Check out Audition and Ichi The Killer for a taster.
I think Jim Jarmusch exists in his own parallel universe. His work is imbued with a strangeness that's affecting and evocative. I loved Ghost Dog:The Way of The Samurai with Forest Whitaker.
