Here are some of my personal favorites.
Happiness (leaves you even more queasy than Very Bad Things in a way)
Death to Smoochy (Vastly overrated)
In Bruges (Sophisticated and brilliantly done black comedy with plenty of thrills as well)
Freddy Got Fingered (You REALLY need the right kind of humor to appreciate this one)
Fight Club (An obvious choice really)
Observe and Report (Panned by fans and critics because people thought it was going to be a Seth Rogen funny buddy comedy when in reality it's a hilariously sick and dark film) -

Death to Smoochy (Vastly overrated)
I believe you meant to say vastly
underrated
. Death to Smoochy is a great movie

Some excellent suggestions already.
I second Jawbreaker, Heathers, True Romance, and Clay Pidgeons,
Check out Go, not as dark but still excellent.
for dark comedy, How to kill your Neighbors Dog, There is Something About Mary, Bad Santa, Spirit,
for film noir, Brick is maybe the best modern example.

Agreed on "Thursday", great movie but pretty hard to come by.
"Curdled" (http://www.imdb.com/board/10115994/) is definately a must see if you liked this movie.
"American psycho" wasn't mensioned yet I believe.
I'm no fan of Christian Slater myself but I loved "True romance" and "Dolan's Caddilac" wasn't a waste of time either. -

There's the British comedy "Keeping Mum" starring Maggie Smith as a homicidal housekeeper who is employed by a Vicar and his wife, both played by Rowan Atkinson and Kristin Scott Thomas. It's not as warped or dark as VBT but It's reasonably amusing although It's ending didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. Also check out the underrated "Wilt", another British comedy from 1989. Again not as dark as VBT but still a funny and clever black comedy. It stars the late Mel Smith and former comedy double act partner Griff Rhys Jones. It's about a College lecturer named Henry Wilt (Jones) who fantasises about murdering his obnoxious, domineering wife. Eventually when she seemingly disappears he becomes the main suspect for her murder and is hounded by over-zealously ambitious and incompetent Police Inspector (Smith).
