Good suggestions folks, but you all forgot....

DR. STRANGELOVE OR HOW I STOPPED WORRYING & LOVED THE BOMB (1964) - ***** - Masterpiece

Apocalypse Gimmick: (1) Countdown to armaggeddon. (2) Cold War politick

Claim to Fame: (1) One of the generally-acclaimed best comedies ever produced. (2) Peter Sellers' Oscar-nominated turn in 3 roles. (3) One of Autuer Stanley Kubrick's Masterpieces (4) One very long title!

The Plot: American general Jack D. Ripper(Sterling Hayden) goes insane and starts WW3. What, you haven't seen this movie?

The Review: I wish I could something substantial, but I'm too lazy for it. Peter Sellers, before his career was squashed by several bad flicks and the PINK PANTHER series, dominates the entire spirit of this comedy. But George C. Scott playing the joyful warhawk is an underrated blast in itself.
