In Reply to: RE: "Dr. Strangelove" is not a comedy, but a bold and corrosive satire. And Buñuel never filmed a comedy... posted by orejones on February 29, 2008 at 02:36:55

I laugh through all of them, and they are funnier to me than traditional comedies, so it's all comedy to me.

Strangelove was listed as the best comedy of all time on a couple lists I've seen recently.

I thought "A Clockwork Orange" was a comedy also. Heck, I also thought much of "Monster" was a black comedy, much to the confusion of my wife who thought it was devastating and disturbing.

You are free to put satire in it's own category if you choose, and I do understand the distinction you make.
