David Cronenberg. I would suggest you start with Videodrome and Naked Lunch.

all the recommendations are apt, but there is noone really LIKE lynch, hence the fascination..one of the few american directors concerned with producing ART..i also recommend Andrei Tarkovsky.

Quentin Tarantino. Certain films of his have that surreal style such as Kill Bill

How come anyone hasn't mentioned Luis Bunuel ? He's the main influence on Lynch.
Start with Un chien andalou and L'age D'or,and if you like it then watch Belle du jour,Tristana,Simon of the dessert,Viridiana and last Phantom of the liberty and Discreet charm of the bourgeoisee.

There's now what Salford Film Fest programmer, Steve Balshaw, calls the North West New Wave of new underground filmmakers. One of them is a writer/director called Baldwin Li who runs HonLodge Productions. Try and check out his 75min feature "25gs". Balshaw calls it 'Lynchian' and he should know as he's a total film egghead.
