Dr. Strangelove (1964)

Stanley Kubrick's 1964 political satire — in which accidental nuclear war is played entirely for laughs — holds a 98% Rotten Tomatoes score and was named to TIME magazine's 100 Best Films of All Time. Peter Sellers plays three distinct roles, the screenplay is co-written with Terry Southern, and Kubrick reportedly modeled the War Room set on a poker table at his request.
