3. Guy Maddin
Average Score: 81.1 for 5 films

Whether they are ballet-filled takes on the Dracula story, or psuedo-autobiographical tales of growing up in Winnipeg, Guy Maddin movies might be an acquired taste (and that acquisition will be helped if you are predisposed to liking surreal, hyper-stylized, black-and-white, silent melodramas), but critics continue to reward them with stellar reviews, and we can guarantee you won't see anything like them from any other director. Next up for the Canadian filmmaker is the crime drama Keyhole, which follows a gangster (Jason Patric) on a Ulysses-like odyssey ... through the rooms of a house.
