I’d rather watch Dr. Strangelove myself. To each his own. I watched “Bridge Over the River Kwai” last night. TCM is about all I watch.
In my opinion, the movie that best captures the events of these last few months is the conspiracy film “Brotherhood of the Bell”. Glenn Ford starred. Most folks have never heard of it. But if you get a chance to see it, you’ll never forget it.

Read the book back in the 60s, I believe in a Reader’s Digest anthology.
Book is more accurate than the film. One aspect I remember which pointed to the death of Adm Boorda and William Colby, the book points out that if the Chief of Naval Operations and the Director of the CIA both turned up unavailable under questionable circumstances, it would immediately flag to all Intel agencies that Domestic Enemies of the Constitution were operating against the US and a coup was likely underway.
The reason was that the CNO had a parallel intel organization which was independent of the other intel organizations, If one failed or was attacked, then the other might have indications of what was transpiring.
Not fully elaborated in the Kirk Douglas and Burt Lancaster film.
Thanks for the reminder of this one.
