Live Poll: Classic Existential Comedies
Who said comedies couldn't be deep and meaningful?
Sometimes, there's more than ha-ha's behind comedies, humor can be the best way to speak deep and powerful statements about life, to make us question our own existence, or even provide a life-changing experience.
So, which of these existential comedies* most affected the way you felt about life?

(some are comedy-dramas but you got the point)

FYC:
Me and You and Everyone We Know
Ghost World
Dogtooth (Even though it was horrifying to see those acts, it definitely felt like a dark comedy. Even though the genres mentioned IMDb are Drama/.Thriller, I would definitely consider it as an existential comedy)
Wristcutters: A Love Story
(If you had been doing it for the TV, I would have loved to say Bojack Horseman! Best thing I have seen about existentialism)

('Just changed the comma after comedies to a semi-colon.)

As suggestions (Untitled) (a must watch for every contemporary artist, artlover, art critic and skeptic of postmodern and contemporary art), Gloria and Mujeres al borde de un ataquede nervios (Women on the verge of a nervous breakdown) come to mind.
Unexpected suggestion: In her shoes. By far my favourite chickflick and I would really like to argue that it greatly discerns itself from the otherwise formulaic and often frowned upon genre in the most positive sense. I'll never forget the perfectly places line "half the fun of sex is talking about it" from Cameron Diaz's character or the beautiful scenes between her and the old and dying literature professor who asks her barely literate character, who has recently (originally reluctantly) begun working at his nursing home, to read for him since he is no longer physically able to do so himself (I believe he has become blind). The caring, heartfelt and compassionate bond that quickly deepens between them as he encourages her not to be afraid to read and their connection is absolutely inspiring.
