    It's David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai, Chris Cunningham and then everyone else. Very much a GOAT.

    This will beat Mission Impossible 2 with the most slow motion sequence ever in a movie.

    Probably a little less and certainly not as much as Zack Snyder (300, Watchman, Sucker Punch).

    This kar wai dude has a lot of highly rated movies on imdb, but then again it's probably just asians voting high just bc its asian.

    Anyone recommend any of his movies?

    He's an internationally respected Hong Kong directer. His only other Kung Fu film is Ashes of Time. Everything else is art house drama fair. You can say he specializes in modern romances. In The Mood For Love is considered one of the best, if not the best, films of the 00s.

    Like I said in my original post. IMHO David Lynch, Wong Kar Wai and Chris Cunningham are the best living film artists working.
