I also find some of the Coen brothers stuff shite (Intolerable Cruelty, Barton Fink, Burn After Reading) - others excellent mind.

I think maybe you just have to 'get' some of them ?? Bit like Monty Python - I just didn't get that either
There really wasn't much to get with Python. Basically it was slapstick humour, not much to it, you either liked it or didn't. Certainly there is nothing I as a fan can explain to you to make you understand. That being said, some Python had a clever message to it. Life of Brian for example, was quite excellent satire.
