I think a good candidate would be Mike Judge. His movies on the surface appear to be juvenile and mindless, until you start thinking about the underlying message. "Office Space" and "Idiocracy" both have to be on my Top 10 favorite movies of all time. I was a little let down by "Extract" though.
Not a household name. Never won a competitive Oscar for directing. His films include
12 Angry Men Fail Safe The Pawnbroker The Anderson Tapes Serpico Murder on the Orient Express Dog Day Afternoon Network Equus Prince of the City Deathtrap The Verdict Find me Guilty Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
