The blackest of comedies, but also one of the funniest. An unhinged US General launches a unilateral nuclear strike against the USSR during the middle of the Cold War, and the rest of the film deals with the president and his men trying to clear up the mess along with the men of a B-52 bomber carrying out the strike.
This maybe wouldn't seem like it would have the makings of a great comedy, but it really delivers, the brilliance of it being in the absurdity of it all and the satire on the Cold War period. There are many great lines but if I had to pick one out to end this blogpost on it would be:
"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"
