Dr. Strangelove is my favorite black comedy.  When you're laughing hysterically and rooting for Slim Pickens to get the bomb bay doors open so he can destroy the world, you know you are watching a very black comedy indeed.  Interestingly, Peter Sellers was supposed to play the bomber pilot (in addition to his 3 other characters), but he broke his arm.  I believe that George C. Scott as the USAF general and Peter Sellers as the RAF pilot are tied for the two greatest comedic performances in movie history.

Another good one was Heaven Help Us -- before the sappy ending, it really explores the darker side of Catholic guilt and discipline in a pretty hysterical way.

Neighbors, John Belushi's last movie, very under-rated if you ask me.

Fight Club. Too often people get caught up in the "brutality" to notice it's a wicked social satire.

I love Fight club, but never realized it was a comedy.
Another great one was Death To Smoochy, but all the subplots of DTS were pretty lame.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
