Dark Comedy Films
166Films that make you laugh and then make you uneasy about laughing. Dark comedy sharpens the horrible by making it funny: class, death, war, greed; none of them are jokes, which is exactly why the best jokes come from there. This list gathers works that mock with intelligence, make the audience complicit, and leave you wondering where the smile ended as the credits roll. Not for anyone after an ordinary comedy; for those who love satire, savagery and the uncomfortable truth.
