Movie Reference/Pain Scale

Fleshing out an idea of equating pain (physical and/or mental), blood, etc, with a movie director's style to drive home the point of pain. So when a person asks, "How are you, or how is your pain today?" You can answer with the corresponding director's name.

What I've fleshed out thus far:

Tarantino: Stylistically excessive physical violence in a sustained and significant abundance. (When you think of torrents of blood, you think, "Tarantino.") 
DePalma Graphic, bloody
Scorsese Physically violent with excessive use of profanity 
Kubrick At times a sadistic spectacle 
Hitchcock Mentally/psychologically overwhelming, at times with dark humor 
Coen Brothers Stylized, brutal & bizzare humor with an almost rhapsodic arc in the trajectory of my pain
Spielberg At times gruesome or spooky, or downright violent, but more often than not, "recoverable" (some might say unremarkable) 
Allen, Woody Angst-inducing Wilder, Billy Often lacking sympathy; stoic 
Goldwyn, Samuel. Above all else, a happy ending. (Superficial for the sake of appeasing others).
Capra Anti-cynicism. Feels unrealistically good.
