SDShad makes a good point about the Coen brothers. Seek out their films, if you enjoy quirky points of view you'll get it in spades.

I have a "filmography" my youngest daughter (she works for Last Gasp Publishing in San Francisco) sent me, has all the films the brothers have made except "O Brother" as it hadn't been released. The book is called "Blood Siblings". I just managed to buy a used copy of "Barton Fink". I think that I will try to get a video of all their films. You betcha! The film "O Brother" is fun entertainment. I was so pleased to hear the "old" music that it could have had Val Kilmer and Adam Sandler as Ulysses and Pete and I still would have liked it. I still say Clooney can be funny when he wants to be. His speech pattern in OBWAT was a steal of Kirk Douglas's and one of the funniest running gags I've seen in a long time.
