Dark Comedy recomendations

Yes. I already have some scripts and I plan on spending the week reading them. Serial Mom, Bad Santa, Very Bad Things. Anything else I should read or watch?
When you ask for a dark comedy rec, the first thing that comes to mind for me is Happiness. Similarly Welcome To The Dollhouse. Those are both genius.
Beyond that.... Grosse Point Blank is pretty awesome. Some people like The Cable Guy (I'm not one of them, but some people like it), To Die For?
Also, Dr. Strangelove & Arsenic and Old Lace are of course classics.

HOLY CRAP YES. That movie cracks me up every time I watch it.
I know, I'm sick and twisted..."Parade of Hope is the roughest of all the charities!"
I guess a good question would be how dark you wanted the comedy...

El crimen ferpecto, a Spanish movie from a couple of years ago, is one of the very best dark comedies I've ever seen. And the structure is incredible.
