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.
In conclusion, you have a weird sense of humor.

About attack the block. Nick Frost is in it, that's what makes it a comedy. Not that I find him very funny myself, but without his character in it i'm sure it would've been just a horror movie. Personally, I found the movie annoying as hell and wanted everybody in it dead. Maybe except for the aliens.


What about Murder By Death, would you categorize that one as "horror"?

And what about Haunted Honeymoon?
