Peter Jackson (WingNut Films)

Films: Bad Taste, Dead Alive, Meet the Feebles, Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners
_______________________________________________________________________________
Jackson's "Splat-stick" style in his early films has developed into a healthy talent for 'fun' horror.
Copies of several of these films are available through Revok Film Prodigies...

Zucker-Abrams-Zucker

Films: Top Secret!, Ruthless People, 'The Naked Gun' series, The 'Airplane!' series
__________________________________________________________________________
The ZAZ team is responsible for some of the best sight gags and original spoofs of all time.

Jeunet et Caro

Films: Delicatessen, City of the Lost Children, Alien 4
_______________________________________________________________________________
If you can handle subtitles, check out 'City', and if you can find humor in cannibalism, see 'Delicatessen' Alien Resurrection (4) was surreal and rather gory, but it was fun to see the Alien series get a new face.

Joel and Ethan Coen

Films: Blood Simple, Barton Fink, Millers Crossing, Raising Arizona, The Hudsucker Proxy, Fargo,
The Big Lebowski
_______________________________________________________________________________
Continually inventive, and never sacrificing content for mass-audience approval, you can always count on this pair for attention to detail, structure, and "realistic" caricatures.

Kevin Smith

Films: Clerks, Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma
_______________________________________________________________________________
Though you might accuse Mr. Smith of excessive vulgarity, obsessive monologues and sketchy plots, you will probably still laugh. Map out the interconnectedness of his films, have a drink or two, and feel his pain through the few comments of 'Silent Bob'. Learn more about him at View Askew online.
