Definitely The Royal Tennenbaums. And O Brother, Where Art Thou. But I don't know if that's officially a dark comedy, but it's tongue-in-cheek, which is somewhere on the line that intersects with dark comedies....?

Yeah, that one was a surprise. I did not think it would be that entertaining. Why was I laughing at the jibs made at a person that almost succeeded in committing suicide? Good dark comedy, imo.
Spanking The Monkey.
An "underground" film that came out in '94.
It's one of those movies that you want to laugh out loud but at the same time you're worried your girlfriend will look at you differently.
No, not yet. I have heard it being called the unofficial GPB 2 but that's not enough. I sort have lost interest with Cusack, I don't watch his full-on rom-coms, last two movies I watched of his were 'The Contract' (entertaining enough), and '2012' (special effects amazing, characters awful).
A sequel to GPB could always work, doesn't even have to be referenced to Grosse Pointe, just tweak the title a bit and get Minnie Driver and Joan Cusack back for support. Going from the events of the first film [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Martin still has a contract on him for killing Budro the dog and the federal government will be pursuing him for the two agents that he killed. Or even the CIA who trained him could kidnap Debbie and force Martin to do a highly sensitive hit on someone.
It could be any of that and still contain the same humour, but I'll make a mental note to look out for War Inc.
