Dark Comedies
 
Are there any other dark comedy fans on here? What are your favorites? I'm going with a pair from Slater: Heathers and Very Bad Things. Also, The Cable Guy is brilliant in my eyes. I know quite a few people hate it though.

Cable Guy is excellent, I think it was one of Jim Carrys (spelling) best films.

I just wanna hang out-NO BIG DEAL

avenger00soul 12-17-2003 06:43 AM

Well I'm happy to see more Cable Guy fans on here.

I cant belive I'm the first to say "Fargo" that and "Heathers" would be my pick. "I love my dead gay son"

Yeah all 3 of those VH1 shows were great. Also I forgot "Cecil B. Demented" for the dark comedy section. If anyone hasn't seen that go rent it I think it's one of Waters best, Steven Dorff plays a great part as well.

abbycomix 12-17-2003 10:38 AM

Awww, yeah John Waters! Now you're talking! One of my absolute faves. I found Serial Mom, Polyester, Desperate Living, and Female Trouble to be my faves by him, but he really can do no wrong in my book. His books are hilarious too. Other cool dark comedies, Heathers, Eating Raoul, Forbidden Zone, Freaked, Frankenhooker. I really like this genre. I liked the cable guy too.

Freaked is a damn funny movie. Bill and Ted are both in that flick.

Are they really?? I've never watched that one, so I don't know. Maybe I will check it out.:)

Yeah, Bill S. Preston Esquire is the main character while Ted Theodore Logan cameos as Ortiz the Dog Boy. It's a classic.

Aasiyan 12-17-2003 11:03 AM

That's great.:D I'm so there. lol.:p

It was directed by Alex Winter (aka Bill) and Mr. T also plays a bearded lady!

I forgot about Mr. T being in it. Bobcat Goldthwait is the Sockhead guy too.

rikki 12-17-2003 12:55 PM

I'm such a sheep - I'd have to go with Very Bad Things and Heathers, too.

abbycomix 12-18-2003 12:44 PM

I just remembered Death to Smoochy!
I really liked this recent black comedy, much more than I expected too.

Ritualistic 12-18-2003 03:19 PM

curdled, last supper, i married an axe murderer, and serial mom are my favorites....

Ritualistic 12-21-2003 12:17 PM

I havent seen her in any other movies just I was up one night late and I saw this movie on and it caught my eye... she is a down to earth type of girl ya know what I mean... man through out the movie she started changing and turning into this very sexy attractive woman ... I actually bought this movie the next day after seeing it, just because of her.. the movie is good too.. :D

cheebacheeba 12-21-2003 01:41 PM

I liked "hexed" and "the dream team", although they were only borderline dark...

Hexed is an awesome movie... glad you mentioned it..

abbycomix 12-21-2003 06:46 PM

Jawbreaker, with Rose Mcgowan was pretty dark and funny. A newer 'heathers' type of movie.

Haunted 12-22-2003 03:35 AM

Fishin'
 
Anyone seen Swimming with Sharks starring Kevin Spacey? Funny.

Heathers was my intro to dark comedy. I think I was eight the first time I watched it. My mum had a fit. Classic dark comedy.

I've seen The Secretary. Pretty nifty flick.

I once wrote a story-lette of two vampires cracking jokes about the people they just masacred. It was pretty funny...a little gory, but we're not afraid of that.

avenger00soul 12-22-2003 06:38 AM

I forgot about Swimming With Sharks--and it's in my collection. Good one Haunted. Funny movie, and then the tone changes rather abruptly. Kinda catches you off-guard.
