why do people like Wes Anderson's films so much?

I enjoyed your post.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
-This is BY FAR the best he uses the flat camera shot technique. He uses it so brilliantly here, BECAUSE HE DOESN'T ALWAYS USE IT!
Also, Grand Budapest was the first time that I know of that he messed with the aspect ratio of the movie itself (He shot the film in three aspect ratios, 1.37, 1.85, and 2.35:1, one for each timeline).
I've never seen that done before.
I remember thinking in the theater that there might be something wrong with the projector. -

not your cup of tea, that's all. it's called different tastes. no need to ask why.
i find it amusing whenever people talk about tarantino films, for example, & they are usually ordinary movies, nothing special, but many enjoy people enjoy them. i don't ask why. if they enjoy it, they enjoy it, nothing much to it.

I feel that Wes's style of filming is very unique and this can add to the humour, I also find that his use of central shots is very quirky and gives him a very distinct, house style. The type of dry humour is also very distinct to Wes and his work.

Comfort food for me. They're safe without ever playing it safe. There's an infinite greatness to that.

As Wes I believe has stated as much, I'll add that his films don't really have villains either. I think that's where some of the accessibility & comfo2000rt food if you will comes into play.
Sure there are some impeding ppl, like the sea pirates, yet they're more blips on the screen than story movers. Mr. Henry was a con artist, & yet that didn't play much into Bottle Rocket other than a unique payoff.

My favorites are probably Bottle Rocket and Rushmore, both of those movies (and most of his films) have a certain darkness to them. They all deal with very flawed and unique people (particularly his first 3 films, but all of them contain them). I can see why some people may think his films are too stylized or they don't enjoy the type of characters he creates. Personally, I love his films and find them very re-watchable.
