Dark Comedies
jimbunny:
In Bruges is an excellent example. Lars and the Real Girl... not so much? I fail to see how it's "dark." Little Miss Sunshine qualifies, maybe, but it's less on the dark and more on the comedy. Anyway, it's not really my genre. I generally feel that they're more dark than comedic, which is a mixture I don't really care for. In Bruges, though. Great movie.

I watch very few movies...but...
Igby Goes Down is one of my favourites. Certainly a comedy, but not so much dark as a bit seedy at times.

Agreed, 100% agreed.

Wristcutters is a very cool movie.
A different shade of dark but very funny and sad at the same time is Terry Gilliam's Brazil.
It's not that sad on a personal level but seeing this genius depiction of a futuristic society that just extrapolates all the silliness we already had in the 70s and 80s is just ... sad. Greatly sad.
A few more I forgot to mention ... Little Miss Sunshine (funny and dark, should qualify) and a movie with Jason Bateman called Trust about a pregnant teen and a middle-aged guy who somehow end up together.
