Dr. Stangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Stanley Kubrick is at his most darkly acerbic in this satire of a war-mad world, in which civility and a supposedly honorable sense of purpose belie a passionate desire to bomb your opponents to ash.
It also has a stellar cast of Kubrick favorites, including Sterling Hayden and Peter Sellers in multiple roles.
Sellers also gets to deliver the movie’s most memorable line: “Gentlemen — you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”
The American Film Institute ranked it as number three on its list of the funniest American films.
