Your Favorite Dark Comedy Movie

Tools    





Put me in your pocket...
Arsenic and Old Lace~An all time fav.
Il Mostro (The Monster)~LOVED Roberto Benigni and
Nicoletta Braschi in this. I don't know anyone who could have pulled this one off the way they did.

Addicted to Love
A Fish Called Wanda
Nurse Betty
Bubble Boy ~ Not a completely dark one...but there certain scenes that are definately dark...



I agree with the poster who said Almodovar.

Labyrinth of Passion, Dark Habits, What Have I Done to Deserve This? and Pepi Luci Bom. Also Kika, though it's not as great.

I'd like to add De Oliveira's "The Past and the Present", if it fits in the category.



Terms of Endearment...oh dark COMEDY....oh okay. Alive...no? Well I am kind of partial to The Ice Harvest.

Bad Santa....I also thought Pulp Fiction was pretty funny.



Movie Forums Extra
1. Peter Jacksons Bad Taste
2. Trash Videos Nato Commando

Simply the best!



Dr. Strangelove, Brazil and Little Shop of Horrors (Stage, not movie w' Hollywood ending).



Lost in never never land
I got to go with Sunset Blvd and Dr. Stranglove. I would say that those are my two favorite dark comedies.

Pulp Fiction is the first to come to mind... a few others are:

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
American Beauty (in my opinion it doesn't really fit under the category, but I suppose it could be considered a dark comedy)
