I would classify "Withnail and I" as a comedy. Yes, it has real character development and serious elements, but, the predicament of the duo is pretty comedic. "The Apartment" is often listed as a comedy, though I would agree that it is pretty dark for a comedy.
Apparently, Jack Lemmon confuses a lot of people. When he died, I read an obituary which mentioned that he is best know for his comedies and was only nominated once by the Academy for a serious role ("China Syndrome"). I guess the writer thought that "Missing" and "Days of Wine and Roses" were comedies. He won a bet actor Oscar for "Save the Tiger," apparently that too is a "comedy."
