Dr. Strangelove (1964): An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop. (8.6)
Director: Stanley Kubrick
Stars: Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden
It is important to note that this movie was made during the cold war. Kubrick takes the subjects of nuclear deterrent and military superiority to show how absurdly our military men and politicians think. His genius is in taking a deadly serious issue of nuclear annihilation to make a comedy out of to show what the reality is. He could have made fun of the whole military industrial complex a little bit more. My Rating: 7.5
