You and Dustin should quit apologizing, since you're both good writers!

As for heartbreaking comedies, I hadn't really thought of that kind of genre, but I will from now on (it sounds like the kind of classification Netflix might come up with). I guess based on your definition and top 5 list, they don't need to actually break your heart at the end and can have positive endings? If that's true, I'd have to say my favorite heartbreaking comedy was Requiem For A Dream.

Just kidding, that's soul-crushing, not heartbreaking. But still, a soul-crushing comedy.

Anyhow, nice work, and I'll look forward to more thoughts!

PS I thought it was funny (and heartbreaking) that you included spoiler alerts after the spoilers, haha!
