Doctor Strangelove is timely right now.

The conspiracy theories and anti-communist paranoia in the movie are reflected in the right wing effort to capture hearts and minds. It's far more than a dark comedy, although it is a brilliant example of that genre. I feel the need to watch it again for perhaps the tenth time.
