Everyone must agree that Tarantino is great.

Resevoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill… Need I go on?

Does anyone know of anyone that has a similar style to him? Suggest some movies, I like Tarantino for his rawness, sometimes the violence is a little high with Tarantino, but his shots, his action, his execution of a story are great.

John Woo (Paycheck, Mission Impossible 2) is good, Soderbergh(Ocean’s 11, Traffic), Kevin Smith(Clerks, Mallrats)...  :D

Just list some good directors and their movies.

Wes Anderson: Bottlerocket, Rushmore, The Royal Tenebaums, Ocean Life (coming soon)

All of these films have a dry wit and a very sedated pace but they offer something far different from what you normally get.  Not to mention his soundtracks are extremely well done and offer great contributions from Mark Mothersbaugh.

Tim Burton: Ed Wood, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Big Fish, (I didn’t want to mention The Planet of the Apes because it sucked)

The man is a pure genius.  He offers these frightening characters full of disgust for their surroundings and situations yet he endears them to us.  He turns outcasts, weirdos, freaks, and storytellers into heros who you can relate to.  Of course his films are backed by Danny Elfman’s brilliant scores and songs.  Johnny Depp’s performance in Ed Wood and Edward Scissorhands can’t be ignored either.  I’m looking forward to the remake of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” which Burton is directing and Depp is acting in.  I liked the original but apparently this will pertain more to the book. I’m sure we can all look forward to it.
