In regards to Tarantino, his style is (more or less) a hodge-podge of pastiche, so it's debatable whether it's really a style or simply a carefully calculated ongoing homage to the history of film. I'm kind of waiting for him to start referencing Buster Keaton, D.W. Griffith, and Douglas Sirk or somesuch.

I'll also add Robert Hewitt Wolfe, who I'm almost certainly misspelling.
He's the one who (among other things) turned DS9 into the season-long giga-episodes that made it so engrossing, and who took Roddenberry's scattered notes for Andromeda and turned it into the seeds of brilliance. After being kicked off his own ship, he was last spotted doing (IIRC) The Dead Zone.

I see a lot here I like, some I like a lot but for my money it all comes down to Stanley Kubrick.
Full Metal Jacket
All that needs said.

ooo! i can't believe i forgot about miyazaki! i second (or i think, third) that one!
i also forgot about winnie holtzman. she created my so called life. the pilot of that series is simply genious. better than even joss's stuff i think, and that's like painful for me to say. i always wondered where she went, and now i see she wrote the book for the musical Wicked. omigosh! imagine if winnie won a tony!

I really dig your list, Lennier. One that I would add(that may get a bad reaction here) is Jean-Pierre Jeunet. I know, I know. Yes, he did direct Alien Resurrection. And, honestly, the only problem I had with that one was how cheesy the alien hybrid looked. See his other films (Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, Amelie) and you may rethink any bad opinions of him.
