Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worying and Love the Bomb (1964)Directed by Stanley Kubrick Rated PG <IMDB>
To paraphrase Zappa, there's no reason to believe the world will end in fire and ice—it could just as easily end in paperwork and nostalgia. Hearken back to the glory days of the Cold War with Peter Sellers, George C. Scott and Slim Pickens in this blackest of comedies about our inevitable nuclear annihilation. It's just a movie, right?

Galipoli (1981-Australia) Directed by Peter Weir RATED PG <IMDB>
Stars: Mark Lee, Mel Gibson, David Argue. On one level, director Weir has created a powerful film that searingly depicts the human cost of war. On the other, he explores the depth of friendship between two competitively athletic young men, one naïve and the other more worldly-wise, who make the destiny-changing decision to join the Australian Army in 1915 as a means of escaping from their rather isolated lives in the Outback. What they get is the Battle of Gallipoli. Stunning imagery.
