25 Best Dark Comedy Movies for Twisted Laughs (Reader's Digest)

"While many dark comedies are satires, others can be classified as horror movies or crime thrillers, but the common ground they all share is that they take serious or grim subjects and infuse a bit of humor. Some of the best movies of the past century have been dark comedies made by some of the most original filmmakers and writers of our time, from Quentin Tarantino and Stanley Kubrick to Elaine May. While the definition of dark comedy can be broad and subjective, we've come up with a list of 25 films, most of which deal with serious or topical subjects and are filled with hilarious performances and biting commentary about the issues at hand. While some filmmakers, such as the Coen Brothers and Jordan Peele, have made several movies we think could fall into this genre, we've admittedly chosen our favorite films of theirs subjectively, based on personal preference, while acknowledging their other films that could have easily been a part of this list." - rd.com
