1	Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) more movies like this directed by Stanley Kubrick featuring Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens, James Earl Jones In 1964, with the Cuban Missile Crisis fresh in viewers' minds, the Cold War at its frostiest, and the hydrogen bomb relatively new and frightening, Stanley Kubrick dared to make a film about what could happen if the wrong person pushed the wrong button -- and played the situation for laughs.

Hutton featuring Clint Eastwood, Telly Savalas, Don Rickles, Carroll O'Connor, Donald Sutherland Like MASH and Catch-22, both released the same year, this military comedy takes place in an earlier war but is really a thinly disguised treatise on the modern-day insanity and avariciousness then unfolding in Vietnam.
