Nuclear holocaust can be funny!

To follow up on my previous post about nuclear weapons I recently watched an amazing movie by my favorite director. The movie is called Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb and it was released in 1964 by the genius director Stanley Kubrick. It stars Peter Sellers as 3 or 4 different characters including Dr. Stranglove whose character appears to be an oddball former Hitler supporter turned Nuclear informant for the United States government. This character really won me over and I think this is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen despite being about a taboo subject like nuclear holocaust. The synopsis of the plot is as follows in my opinion. "An insane general starts a process to nuclear holocaust that a war room of politicians and generals frantically try to stop." All in all I loved this film and I highly recommend anyone to what it.
