10 Genres Quentin Tarantino Should Deconstruct After Django Unchained

9. The "Corpse" Comedy

This is a genre that I can't help but have a sadistic soft spot for. While Weekend at Bernie's is definitely the most notable of the sub-genre, there have been a few other lesser gems in recent years, such as 2005's passable Drop Dead Sexy or the criminally under-seen Burke and Hare, directed by genre saint John Landis. If there's a premise more suited to Quentin's devilish sense of humor, please name it. Whatever the conceit of the movie would be, as long as it has a dead body being horribly mistreated for the sake of laughs, I'm sure Tarantino could whip up a suitable story around it. And really, the multiplex just needs another dose of dead people comedy. Do you really want Very Bad Things to be one of the last statements of the sub-genre? Hell, I'd even love to see Quentin remake Weekend at Bernie's if it meant Harvey Keitel got to be in the titular role and it was treated as a true black comedy.
