Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Dr. Strangelove is a satirical Cold War film starring Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, loosely based on Peter George's novel Red Alert. It revolves around a mentally unstable US Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, and follows the President of the United States and his advisors as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. This film is placed at #3 on AFI's 100 Years... 100 Laughs. I did not laugh at all, I suppose it does not appeal to my sense of humor - either that or it was all over my head.
I will leave it to Max to properly review the film, because I do not remember too much about it.
