Perhaps Stanley Kubrick’s funniest film, this 1962 parody stars Peter Sellers in multiple roles as the world faces nuclear annihilation at the hands of a U.S. military madman. General Jack D. Ripper, terrified that the Soviets are after American drinking water, sets in motion a cataclysmic missile attack. The ensuing political scramble to clean up the mess features the late, great Sellers as President of the United States and the title character, Dr. Strangelove, a hilarious send-up of Bond villains.
Full of razor-sharp satire and absurdity, the film is a chilling reminder of how those charged with protecting the world can sometimes be the least qualified people for the job.
