reserch for auteur

My first idea was to do Zack Snyder, i like his stylistic methods. But he has only done 3 films, and not much information is available to work with, so my second choice is George A. Romero who has a wide selections of films to look at and compere.
IMDb has a wide selection of films that he have done:

directed 19 titles
