There’s probably others that I’m not aware of, but in addition to being an amazing movie, it’s the only black and white movie I know of where the acting is natural rather than looking like someone putting on a performance.
I love the serious thriller take on the same book, the film Fail-Safe (1964). Directed by Sidney Lumet, starring Henry Fonda. No idea why this film isn’t better known, if only from being compared to Dr Strangelove.
I’ve quite honestly found Dr Strangelove to be kind of comforting these last couple of months.
If you’ve never seen it it’s worth a watch.
I watched it for the first time last night. If I didn’t recognize some of the actors, you could have convinced me that it was made this decade
