Dr Strangelove; or, how I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb (GB 1963) 93 mins. Stanley Kubrick.
A mad USAF general launches a nuclear attack on Russia, and when recall fails, and retaliation is inevitable all sit back to await destruction of the world. Though now almost 20 years old, Dr Strangelove has lost none of its saliency. Delightful performance(s) by Peter Sellers. Ronald Reagan didn't get it.

Swept Away (Italy 1976). Dir Una Wertmuller.
A rich Italian socialite and a worker on the yacht she is sailing are marooned on a deserted Mediteranean island and engage in a "sexual battle in the class war". Swept Away has been seen as arguing that in a situation uncorrupted by social forces, men will assume a dominant position over women.
