Strangelove is hilarious and I think it almost perfectly translates to modern day humor, albeit you do lose something if you don't understand the cold war context at the time.
My dad loves Space Odyssey, he saw it in the theater. He can't articulate why though, he just says when he saw it it was unlike anything he'd ever seen before. I think that's a lot of the appeal to folks who saw it when it came out, it was just so groundbreaking, probably in a way that no movie since has been able to do.

I actually watched Strangelove recently and it's shocking how modern it feels.
The film is nearly 60 years old and it feels like it could have been made this decade.
