Your favorite "Black" or "Dark" Comedies.

A black comedy (or dark comedy) is a comic work that employs farce and morbid humor, which, in its simplest form, is humor that makes light of subject matter usually considered taboo. Black humor corresponds to the earlier concept of gallows humor. Black comedy is often controversial due to its subject matter.

Some of my favorite Black Comedies:

1. Brazil
2. Dr. Strange Love
3. Catch 22
4. Mash

I should also have added this to my favourite foreign language films.

Considering what has been mentioned, I'm surprised this hasn't. Maybe knowing how much I love it, you were all leaving it for me?
