Not in your genres listed, but Falling Down is a dark comedy / tragedy that is a fun but somewhat depressing watch.
It's about a man who snaps in a traffic jam and he goes a Lil bit crazy.
this little known gem from a major studio directed by one of the most famous durectors in the industry, aslo starying a best actor Oscar winner
It's also conveniently about a poor poor middle class white man and how having a bad day leads to him killing people. A entitled jerk who thinks the world owes him and is ready to ignore his wife's restraining order. What a stand-up guy. /s
Honestly, despite this movie not being absolutely terrible, kind of fuck this movie because it glorifies the fucking society we live in now.
It was meant to be a warning, not a User's Guide!
