What other directors are an actual GENRE like Hitchcock

A few examples: CHARADE, Most early to mid DE Palma including SISTERS and of course DRESSED TO KILL, WHAT LIES BENEATH and countless others have been labeled "Hitchcock" alongside "Thriller" or "Action" or "Mystery" or "Film Noir" and I wondered if there are any other directors who are a Genre?

I know that there are movies that "Are Very Spielberg" or "Kubrickesque" but for me, I can only think of Hitchcock as being a GENRE as well as director.

I don't think there is anyone else.

(bearing in mind some of Hitchcock's 30s movies aren't Hitchcockian— I'm thinking of Jessie Mathews)

Lynchian,after David Lynch (with the possible exception of The Straight Story).
