Dr. StrangeLove Or how i learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
Ideal example of how u can make a clever satire over one of the biggest crisis of mankind: nuclear arms race in post WWII world. This movie is made as simple as it cud be and yet powerfully conveys the constant danger we live in; the multitude of nuclear weapons which are under human control can easily cause devastating destruction by one small misundertanding or human error as done by pshycotic General Jack Ripper in the movie. Recall that during JFK's rule, as shown in the documentary "Fog of War" presenting Robert Mcnamara defense secretary of state during cold war, "We were 'this' close to nuclear war if only we didn't exercise our patience"

Anyway nothing lives forever and we the smartest homo sapiens are no exception, we proly will become extinct because of our intelligence :)

You can watch it as good comedy movie if u don't want to think too much :)
