Catch-22 or Dr. Strangelove

[lunchbox20]

What movie better satirizes warfare?

[Puck Bond]

Dr. Strangelove is my fav film by my fav director, and one of my top 10 all time favs...it is such a great film...Peter Sellers is great and hilarious in all 3 of his roles...The President, Capt. Mandrake and Dr. Strangelove...his phone conversation with the Russian Premiere is hilarious...also George C. Scott is great as a U.S. General...plus one of the most memorable final scenes in movie history with the cowboy riding bomb, followed by the numerous nuclear explosions

I absolutely love "Catch 22"... because of Orson Welles, Jon Voight, Anthony Perkins, Alan Arkin, etc... the whole movie is so overwhelmingly artistic and bombastically brilliant. It really throws a curve ball into the mix. Although truth be told, Robert Altman's "M*A*S*H" gets my true vote for the best war satire flick...

Sorry, but for those that have read Catch-22 (and studied it) the movie is like 1000 times worse than the novel.
The novel of Catch-22 itself is probably the best to satire war, and it didn't work as a film because a lot of the satire was through clever wording by Heller. Also, the huge cast in the novel would have cost a fortune and been too difficult to incorporate into a movie so cuts were made, charcaters were 'amalgamated' and the result was poor.
The bottom line? Catch-22 the novel is the best, but Strangelove as a movie kicks C-22: the Movie's ass /ubb/smile.gif

I agree - the novel is so far superior to the film. And it's the single funniest book I've ever read.
