Is horror the only good genre in movies right now?

[HenryFlower]

Fargo is a black comedy. Nobody contests this. When there are threads about the great comedies of the 90's, how often do you see Fargo brought up?

i would, because i consider black comedies comedies.

I could do this over and over and over. When the genre is so bankrupt of laughs that you begin pointing to movies like this, everyone can see you're scrambling around on your knees scraping for anything to count.

yeah, man, it’s totally not the guy putting arbitrary restrictions on which comedy film subgenres/hybrids actually count as “comedy” films. whatever helps you sleep at night.

Whatever helps me sleep at night? Calm down, Karen. I'm not going to toss and turn at night from a guilty conscience because I pointed out the same critics that call these films brilliant "black comedies" suddenly mysteriously forget about the movies when it comes time to jot down their list of the best comedies of the year. Nobody likes a drama queen.

Easier to recoup it's cost; easier for smaller makers to develop; and probably the easiest to find suitable actors for.

we all know it steamed your clams that people actually had the audacity to address the class w/ a list of comedies (2010-present) they thought were good enough to justify selecting Comedy in your pwecious poll

Just saw 28 years later .

3/10.

The film seemed to switch writers at the halfway point. And children wrote the last 5 minutes

It Follows came out in that decade too, right?

I agree, horror is smashing it at the moment. I also enjoyed the new Evil Dead.

 

[TCE]

Autopsy of Jane Doe is another hidden gem that was great

It follows and Smile are some of the best horror we’ve seen in the last 15 years.

I give the edge to it follows due to it’s budgetary constraints

You can spam as many JPGs as you want, this isn't the point.

Nobody leaves the theater after having seen Parasite, and thinks to himself, "Damn, that was one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. What a great comedy."

Lmfao. Fargo is literally in the top 100 of AFI's greatest American comedies of all time.

Don't worry. No one's surprised you toil in the depths of idiotic discussions and threads that don't list Fargo as a great 90s comedy.

Anything other than comedy.
