 | Happiness
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $7.22 This forgotten Todd Stolondtz film has a comedy so black you actually feel guilty of laughing. I doubt there's another film ever made that makes you laugh of subjects like pederasty and the brutal murder of a man.

 | Election
Buy new: $9.98 / Used from: $1.66 Alexander Payne's second film is probably his craziest film. Most characters in this great film have different forms of mental illness such as obsession-compulsion and Alexander makes it okay to laugh at them and the tragicness of their state and lives.

|
 | Little Miss Sunshine
Buy new: $8.49 / Used from: $2.00 This indie gem (a probable contender in this year's awards) follows another dysfunctional family traveling to a beauty pageant. Funny characters suffering funny situations divert the audience from the drama all the characters suffer.
