I guess I'm too dark. I'm a big fan of the Coen Brothers, but I never considered a lot of their films dark comedies. I guess Lebowski is, and Fargo, but I consider those all more absurd than dark. Matter of taste, I guess.
I'm an old guy, so I'm going to name some old films.
Dr. Strangelove and Clockwork Orange, of course. Kubrick rules.
The Loved One. All about death, American style. Cheaply shot in black and white, but with name star cameos. Check it out if you've never heard of it. You won't believe it.
Bluebeard. Sound comedy made by Charlie Chaplin about '50 about a guy who marries and kills women.
Psycho. It _is_ a comedy, if you look at it right.
Eating Raoul -- Paul Bartel's take on cannibalism in LA.
Night of the Comet -- valley girls with Uzis, flesh-eating zombies, what could be better?
Chopper Chicks in Zombie Town -- the only Troma film I've ever seen. Lot of fun, in a crude way.
Death Race 2000 -- let's not forget the classics!
Escape from New York, Escape from LA.
They Live.
