Spoilers Ahead! Dr. Strangelove

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a 1964 film that addresses the dangers of the nuclear safeguards of the United States while using black humor. When the disturbed United States Air Force General Jack D. Ripper gives the order to drop nuclear weapons on the Soviet Union unprovoked, the military leaders and top minds of the United States must find a way to call off the attack. After discovering there is no way to remotely stop the bombing without the recall code (which is only known to Jack Ripper) the President decides to invite the Russian Ambassador into the War Room so they may cooperate with the Soviets. This is met with extreme opposition from an incredibly paranoid General Buck Turgidson, who is worried that the Ambassador is a spy. After several comical interactions between the indecisive President and the drunk Soviet leader, we learn that the Soviets have a device that will render the world inhabitable for nearly a century if a nuclear device is detonated on Soviet soil. The surprisingly hilarious former Nazi scientist, Dr. Strangelove, is introduced to give input and create some unorthodox fail safes in case the mission to stop the nuclear bombs fails. 

I did not expect to enjoy this film as much as I did, as the only thing that I knew about it was the scene with the man in the cowboy hat riding a bomb. Overall, a really enjoyable film and Dr. Strangelove (though introduced late into the movie) is easily the funniest part of this movie.
