What are some of the best dark comedies?

Assuming you're into them. I'm gonna start us off...

1. Death at a Funeral (2007) - The British one. I was genuinely holding my sides watching this for the first time. Legit one of the absolute best

2. Seven Psychopaths (2012) - My favorite Sam Rockwell film (along with Moon). Everyone in this is great. Especially Sam & Christopher Walken

3. Burn After Reading (2008) - I honestly don't think that this one gets as much love as the Coen Brothers' other films. I absolutely love it. So freaking hilarious. I laughed so freaking hard at the death of Brad Pitt's character that I honestly had to pause the film. It's that little face he made before, you know, it happened.

4. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) - It's Robert Downey Jr just a bit before his big Iron Man stardom/comeback. But it's Val Kilmer who steals this film. He's so freaking fantastic in this!

The Ref (1994)

Nice one. One of my favorite Christmas movies.

"What is the matter with you?!? I thought mothers were supposed to be sweet, and nice, and patient. I know loan sharks who are more forgiving than you. Your husband ain't dead, lady... He's hiding.

Good choice. How many people would think of using cat piss to discourage home invasion?

This post was for sslissg, but this lame site—in addition to tacitly encouraging trolling by not actively discouraging it—can’t be bothered to link replies to the salient post.

Works just fine if you click on the right "Reply" link, genius.

Made me a Sam Rockwell fan, that's for sure.

I know someone already mentioned it, but definitely check out 'Grosse Pointe Blank.'

Oh yeah, saw that one when I was a teen. Loved it so much. It's actually my favorite John Cusack film

Here's one I consider a dark comedy starring someone all over the news now. Alex Baldwin. Its called Mini's First Time. Also starring Nikki Reed.

I watched Death of a Bureaucrat (1966) years ago and it was simply brilliant. Just check the reviews, they don't exaggerate.
