    maybe an obvious pick, but Dr. Strangelove if that counts. i think it helps that it's comedic, it avoids the common trap of "serious" anti-war movies making war look cool

    also, i haven't seen it, but if it's anything like the book, Slaughterhouse Five might be worth a shot

      The movie doesn’t really work but it’s worth precisely one watch.

        aw, i had a feeling that was the case. the structure of the book seems hard to translate to film. i'll give it a watch though, if only to see how it stumbles

      Hit up Fail-Safe- a deadly serious film about the same situation. Details how ludicrous and heightened the situation is without talking down to you.
