Your Favorite Dark Comedy Movie

Serial Mom

It's so absurd, and perverse in it's content that you can't help but laugh.

Fear and Loathing in las vegas

Keeping Mum. A film about a little old lady who solves family problems by killing people.

The 3 that come to my mind right away are -

Fight Club
Dr. Strangelove
Snatch

I spent about 40 seconds coming up with this list, so I'm probably forgetting something.

Well, it's kind of sketchy but I would call this a dark comedy...

Fargo

Hi.
I also like Raising Arizona and it is really like "Comedy beyond belief".

I Love You To Death ( Lawrence Kasdan, 1990 ) - Remarkably, the film is based on a real event, but, it takes off from that base and becomes a screwball comedy in the classic style. Though the movie morbidly parodies what may not really be something to laugh at, the results are so damn hilarious, making this probably one of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Clever writing, able direction and a stellar cast.

Burn After Reading
Four Rooms
Little Miss Sunshine

I looked under the "Dark Humor" category at Netflix and saw these films I've really liked.

All About Eve


Arsenic & Old Lace


Charade

Most if not all the movies I would have listed have already been mentioned like American Psycho, Snatch, Lock Stock, American Beauty, Trainspotting etc but one I didn't see listed already was:

Death To Smoochy

BY far my favorite has to be "War of the Roses", but "Death to Smoochy" is totally number two

__________________

Harold and Maude
Arsenic and Old Lace
Young Frankenstein
Beetlejuice
Fight Club
Pulp Fiction
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
American Psycho

That's about all I can think of at the moment. The first two I recommend to anyone.

EDIT: I'll have to add 'Dr. Strangelove' to this list, having just watched it.

The Cable Guy by crazy Jim Carrey and American Psycho

The usual Suspects
Big Lebowski
American Beauty
Fight Club
Bad Santa
Very bad Things

+

One Night at McCool`s
Clerks
Employee of the Month (which I like very much)

Can somebody explain to me why they "like" Very Bad Things"? My daughter is even going to watch it at USC this semester, but I'm really hoping that the instructor uses it as a "Post-Modern" (her class is "Post-Modern" cinema) example of why cinema has gone to hell in a handbasket. I'll get back to you about that, but Soul Inside, how can you find anything funny whatsoever in Very Bad Things? I mean, even I realize that there were a few things borderline funny, but not all that much...

I think Very Bad Things is a great Dark Comedy,



If you havent seen this movie you must!

Borderline is right. It`s about five rats roamin around in Vegas, like a bad and authentic version of the tame three guys in Hangover. I like to watch ****ed up people doing ****ed up things - it`s that simple. VBT is not very sophisticated and not one of my favourite movies. But at the end, it`s good, nasty entertainment.

Really? Dark comedy? I wouldn't say that The Big Lebowski is dark and I wouldn't say that The Usual Suspects is a comedy at all.

I go for the defintion: Making fun of bad things.
So, Lebowski is definitely dark humour.

Usual suspects? Maybe you are right with this one. But I only remember the end, the small, ****ed up fishs and Stephen Baldwin (nice guy, funny face).
