I have one friend who sees nothing funny at all in Dr. Strangelove, and another friend - who teaches a course in the history of cinema - and his class (mostly kids in their mid 20's) all loved it. IIRC it was released a year or two after the Cuban Missile Crisis.

The Russians Are Coming is a great flick, but it ain't going to hold up as well as Strangelove - it's hard to beat Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Slim Pickins, and Kubrick - all at the top of their game.
