Great Movie. A movie in the rare genre of war comedy.

Rating: Null/10 (1 May 2002)

Catch 22 takes place during World war 2 when the USA is in Italy. I guess the overlying principle would have to be (hence the name) a catch 22. As explained in the movie early on. Catch 22 is the fact that you can only stop flying missions before you make the requirement by being crazy. However, if you report that you are crazy, you are well enough to fly. And the only way to show that you are crazy is to report yourself. The comedy mostly centers around the fact that most of the people in the movie are really not sane themselves and they are mostly doing things for their own self interest.
