Best comedy about nuclear annihilation ever made

Rating: 10/10 (9 January 2006)

One of my favorite films. I never tire of it. The dark humor and the zealous insanity of the protagonists to avoid the "doomsday gap" never cease to elicit an uncomfortable chuckle from me. It is also worth noting that it does not seem much of a stretch to imagine our current world leaders playing their equivalent roles in the film. All of Stanley Kubrick's work is brilliant in one way or another, but this is my favorite of all his films, due to its satiric wit and edgy humor. I personally believe that this film should be required viewing, just to hopefully avoid a real-life situation that would parallel the one in the picture.
