My #42 is Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. This is the first of two Kubrick movies on the list. Dr. Strangelove is a masterpiece of comedy, and a benefactor of extreme good luck since so many great lines and scenes were ad-libbed or improvised in some way. The star of this black comedy is clearly Peter Sellers, who plays three roles, but it's actually George C. Scott who steals the movie with his over-the-top, fiercely nationalisitic portrayal of General Buck Turgidson.
