"Starting this mainly because I'm in the mood to watch one tonight and need inspiration 
Mine is In Bruges."
Soon as I saw that title my first thought was In Bruges ‘Two manky hookers, and a racist dwarf’
Perrier’s Bounty is well worth a watch if you haven’t seen it already |

"Sightseers
Tucker and Dale Vs Evil"
Sightseers is something I haven't seen yet (hehe)
A friend recommended Tucker and Dale vs Evil and it's criminal how many people haven't seen it  |

Must re watch it sometime as it had good reviews but I didn't get it"
I think the comedy aspect exceeds the story so I can see why you might not have got it, but definitely worth a re watch |

Sightseers is brilliant, definitely on the darker end of comedy but very good. You should give it a watch if you can find it!
Tucker and Dale is hilarious, far better than Cabin in the Woods. I keep on at my friends to watch it but they don't seem too enthralled with the idea of a hillbilly horror.  |

That sounds good, I do like Cillian Murphy too! |

I'll be on the lookout for it
But it's hilarious because the hillbillies aren't even the bad guys! Just trying to do chores in their vacation home  |

"Fargo, end of thread
Not looking for a series at the minute but definitely one to add to my watchlist!
Fargo is a film as well as a series !
And it's a corker "
Ahhh apologies, so it is! It sounds really good. Love the idea of an evil plan going awry  |

"Evil dead 2 and 3
Oooh retro
Is the first one not worth a watch?
It's more of a horror the other 2 are kind of slapstick dark humor."
Ahhh fair doos, I'll give the first one a watch anyway otherwise it would big me |

"Donny Darko...debatable as to the comedy element.
I, Tonya or A Simple Favour ...for the lighter side."
Great suggestions! I never knew I, Tonya was a comedy but might give that a go now  |

"Man Bites Dog.
The synopsis reads like a documentary but sounds like a really good watch. Can't see where I can watch it though  "
It's a black and white Belgian film, it's superb |

"‘Hunt for the Wilderpeople’ is a great film!
Also directed by Taika Waititi. He's becoming one of my favourite directors
What We Do In The Shadows (movie) is excellent "
Not seen that yet either! Got a decent collection now |

"That film where he sews people together into a human caterpillar is hilarious although I'm not sure that it's meant to be"
I think it's a centipede but don't think it's a comedy  |

"Bliss , 1985 Australian film based on the book by Peter Carey, very funny. For funny horror has to be evil dead 3 or bad taste"
Bliss sounds good, almost like a redemption type story with a bit of humour with it |

Mine is In Bruges.
Gotta agree.
The Guard is really good too."
Looks like that also has Brendon Gleeson in it too. Added to watchlist! |

"I think Parasite is on the movie channels now. And while it isn't strictly a dark comedy, Knives Out was my favourite film of last year."
Knives Out has been on my watchlist for a while too!
Good thing I have the next week off |

"Trainspotting
Love that film. Seen both multiple times "
Me too! And read the book, which is hilarious as it is written phonetically in Scottish dialect.
My son lives in Leith and we did the tour of the sites including the Banana flats where Sickboy lived and walked under the bridge near Waverley station where Renton nearly got ran over |

The darkest comedy has to be funny games, the director actually made an English speaking version with Tim Roth, but alas it was shite, but the original is dark comedy to a T |

I’m from Leith originally, I went to school with quite a few people who’d be at home in the books. |

If you ever drink in a West London pub called The Famous 3 Kings the grotty block of flats on the corner opposite side of the street is the exterior for the scene Begby jumps out of the wardrobe whilst Renton is working as an estate agent. |

I think it's on Amazon Prime too, who might still be doing a 99p for a week deal.
I genuinely think it's a classic. Dialogue, plot, cast, it's magnificent. |

Force majeure is a terrific dark comedy, think its Norwegian, I think they did an American version with that pillock out of the elf film, probably fucked it up |
