Great list, but could use a few from this Czech director. Pretty much all his stuff is beyond surreal. LOL

You're right, he's one of the forerunners of surreal film. However, I decided to list only a few films from each director, if applicable. I could list every film Lynch has done, but that would be a lot! Maybe if I decide to expand my list I'll include more from each director. :)
