Always thought Dr Strangelove as a classic.

Anyone remember "Seven Days in May"? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Days_in_May

Hardly ever shown on the telly, but I managed to catch it once and thought it was great.:up:

Mike.:)

Oh yeah! Read the book, saw the movie. Great quiet thriller.

Sadly, the wall may be down, but I think the cold war remains. Also the level of paranoia, generally, is as high as ever, so I think young people today can still appreciate these films.

The part I remember the best was that the Soviets were not depicted as the bad guys; the bad guys turned out to be the TPC, 'The Phone Company'. I thought this was hilarious. To me the whole film really made fun of politics and spying.
