Yep, the attempted suicides...definitely a "pollyanna" version, but still dark.

There was a somewhat similar thread here about quirky, indy films. From the list I wrote there I left out The Brother from Another Planet which I think fits this thread. An early, low budget John Sayles effort, it's a little wobbly but finishes as a great and pleasing story.

And how about The Big Lebowski? A Coen brothers film with cons within cons and bowling alley culture
Warning - has ample use of the "f" word

I agree Big Lebowski was good

David Lynch's Wild At Heart....can't get any more darker than that...

For Dark the one thing that comes to mind is Serial Mom. I'm sure that's already mentioned on here.
