...or Bruckheimer or J.J. Abrams or other???
Inquiring critical-thinking minds want to know!!!

Think David Lynch and "Eraserhead."
The Coen brothers.
All of the above.
Cecil B. DeMille. No two ways about it. Spectacle. Religion. Drama. Casts of thousands. Half nude slaves. And plenty of scenery chewing.
Terrence Malik
I'd lean towards the Coen brothers with a little Stanley Kubrick thrown in.
Me too, Ron. Big Lebowski mixed with Dr. Strangelove.
That works, Don!
A mash-up of Wes Anderson and Tarantino.
Terry Gilliam.
Rod Serling.
john ford, I'd like to say...,
who doesn't love a good ole western where the duke stands for the "right" and the women and minorities adore.
Make america great again!

Oh, yeah, Rod Serling. Thank you, kathleen! I forgot about him. Definitely has some heavy influence on my life movie.
Alfred Hitchcock...an over-active search for a vaguely-defined MacGuffin that only serves to connect a string of inconsequential scenes.
Richard Curtis
a lot of faffing around at the beginning, a few tears, but a generally happy end

M. Night Shyamalan. Its the plot twist no one saw coming.
Kind of a Midwestern Aaronofsky 'requiem for a dream', but with rich white people who end up in obnoxious treatment centers or on methadone.
Certainly parts of my life have had that super rapid cut/ so called 'hip hip montage' that Requiem for a Dream is pretty famous for. Apparently it has more cuts than any other film, and sometimes in certain parts of the film you feel like you're watching an eye blink because the film moves from one image to another so quickly, it's very unsettling. When I was younger, I moved around a lot and I did things so quickly, without much thinking and without any regard to the consequences or feelings of other people or myself. And I have had experiences similar to what happens to the characters in the movie honestly, sans the scene where Jennifer Connelly goes to a sex party and entertains dozens of men with a two-sided dildo. Thankfully.
But the addiction, the pain, the feelings of Terror, even that scene where he's dreaming that he's falling off a building- they actually filmed that by dropping a camera attached to a bungee cord to realistically recreate what it would feel like for something to fall off a building that fast. I know what that feels like in both a literal and metaphorical sense.
My life over the past three years has been much, much more boring, thankfully, although in a lot of ways it has been much less productive

without a doubt John Waters
Tod Browning, for sure.
Jared Hess, of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre fame. Lots of dorky adventures of well meaning nerds who grow up and figure things out.
Robert Altman
Fellini most definitely.
I can't think of director's specifically...my life's a mishmash of different things lol
Movies themselves that have similar themes however yes.
