I recommend David Cronenberg and Park Chan-Wook. And Michael Haneke. And probably Ingmar Bergman. And if any of those replace Fincher that's even better. Good list so far!
thanks for the recommendations! i will add Park when i finish his trilogy. i thought of cronenberg and bergman, but i feel like i haven't watched enough of their material. thanks anyway
great list of some great directors. Woody Allen did some mind-fuck movies in the early 70's like Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex But Were Afraid To Ask (1972) and Sleeper (1973) but it's surely not the same kind of crazy movies like on your list.
you should definitely add David Cronenberg's eXistenZ!!
