Actually, Art, I would have guessed your favorite was "Triumph of the Will"
by Reifenstahl.

More aligned with your current political views.

"Dr. Strangelove" makes quite a counterpoint with "Fail Safe" made a
couple of
years later.

I *thought* "Dr Stangelove" was a parody of "Fail-Safe".


No, it was based on another novel, Red Alert, which was not especially a
parody. Its author did write the screenplay. The novel was more
reminiscent of Fail-Safe, with a desperate attempt to stop accidental
war.


I think Catch 22 is the greatest war parody ever written. Well maybe
after
The Good Soldier Schweik.
