Who else but Stanley Kubrick can creatively conceal a tight fist of anti-war sentiment inside a black comedy? This movie is a classic of pop culture because it reflects and comments on the actual events of nuclear tension between the United States and the Soviet Union. Dr. Strangelove or: How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Love the Bomb does this through hilarious dialogue, outstanding performances - Peter Sellers as the loopy bomb creator and George C. Scott as a frenzied military general - and memorable sequences, such as Slim Pickens' fateful ride on the descending bomb. This 1964 film set the tone and the standard for subsequent satires, including Brazil and Canadian Bacon.

One of the Best

Arguably the greatest film comedy of all time, it certainly deals with the funniest theme ever: global armageddon. The Soviets are perfect fools and the Americans are complete idiots, making a meeting of the minds impossible because there are no minds to meet. Kubrick's wry direction and Peter Sellers multiple roles are great. George C. Scott said many years later that his role as General Buck Turgidson was his favourite, an Oscar for Patton notwithstanding. The founder of the feast, mad General Jack D. Ripper, is played by Sterling Hayden and he is terrifying and hilarious. ("I don't avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.") This is one of those movies I can watch every year for the rest of my life. Yee-haw!
