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!

I, Tonya was surprisingly good.

Logan Lucky is worth the watch.

Swiss Army Man - couldn't stop laughing throughout it.

Swiss Army Man was a weird one, good fun👍

It was either Stonekeeper or Samoanjoes that put me on to that one, I can't remember

I'd love to know how it was pitched to Daniel Radcliffe for him to have agreed to play that role.

I've no idea but I formally award Radcliffe 1,000 points for continuing to be an interesting movie star

That boy takes chances and I dig it

For sure. He could have played it safe and stayed in the mainstream actor's lane but his choice of roles since Harry Potter is inspirational.

Some really excellent choices here...but I'll add
After Hours
