I love Kubrick's films. He had the ability to work in such a broad range of genres and styles but never lost his signature touch.. truly one of the great auteurs.
Dr. Strangelove is interesting because it's his only real comedy, and is such an excellent critique of the U.S.'s "strike first, ask questions later" mentality. If you look at the film in terms of current political situations its funny to see how little things have changed.
