The Ladykillers (1955) - a must see! Classic dark comedy.

The Ladykillers (2004) - Not even close to the original but still worth a look.

Holy *beep*. Nobody's brought up the father of dark comedies: "Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb".

unless i missed something how did Ruthless People not make this thread yet?

"World's Greatest Dad" is among my favorite dark comedies of all time. Bobcat Goldthwait (yes, that Bobcat Goldthwait) wrote and directed it.

The Burbs, Beatlejuice, Fargo, I considder Tarantino's films to be dark comedies.

I'm a big fan of dark comedies, and just last night I re-watched Being John Malkovich. I would also add Dog Day Afternoon to the list.

As for the people who mentioned The Big Lebowski and Ruthless People, I don't really see them as 'dark'. They both involve kidnapping or alleged kidnapping, but the light-hearted and humorous nature of virtually every scene negates any sense of fear or suspense that a kidnapping situation would normally provoke. Fargo, on the other hand, I would definitely consider a dark comedy, since the humour doesn't negate the feelings of suspense, desperation and tragedy that some of the scenes provoke.

Pretty much anything by Joel and Ethan Coen, In Bruges, Snatch, I'd consider Fight Club to have a lot of dark comedy aspects.

Fight Club is the quintessential black comedy.

Really late here, but a decent dark comedy is The Vanishing (1993). Can't believe nobody brought up this gem. Keifer Sutherland, Jeff Bridges, and Sandra Bullock!

What about the reality where Hitler cured cancer, Morty? The answer is: Don't think about it.
