I think a ratio of comedy needs to assessed. I disagree with a lot of the films on this list- like Ded Sno. Only seen it once, and loved it, but don't remember being particularly amused by it.
I laughed like hell at the cat attack scene in Let the Right One In, but I wouldn't call the movie a comedy.

For me it's more about the tone than about the ratio.
If characters keep making jokes during a dangerous situation I have trouble taking the movie serious. Or when the characters themselves are too silly.
Or the creatures. Or an event.
Sometimes one scene can change or even define the tone of a movie.
Dead Snow for example.
It's pretty over-the-top and then a guy gets bitten in his groin.
So to me that movie is amusing.
And it are amusing movies I would like to see on the list.
So maybe a HDC list and a non-HDC list?
