Given the dynamics of the 20th century, World War II and Vietnam films dominate the genre. Growing up in the '80s, we got accustomed to jingoistic and simplistic war films, which made noticing the gems much easier in subsequent years. Sure, there have been war films with comedic elements, but nothing that cut as deep as Dr. Strangelove. Watch This If: You want a movie that truly stands out from other Vietnam War films. It's a war film with all the battle scenes one can handle yet still manages to find humor, humanity, and meditations on war throughout.
