Doctor Strangelove was a terrific film.

I found Thin Red Line to be somewhat interesting, but far too long-winded and unnecessarily moody. It was a disappointment to me.

One that I enjoyed in the 60's was called "None But The Brave". It concerned a small unit of Japanese soldiers on an isolated island, and an equally small unit of American soldiers who arrive there, courtesy of a crash landing in their transport plane. The movie deals with the 2 groups of men on an equal basis, and gives respect to both. They start out trying to kill each other, then manage to work out a temporary ceasefire and mutual cooperation, mainly due to the Japanese commander being a flexible-minded man with a philosophical bent, and his American counterpart being a man of some imagination as well. It had some great moments. Unfortunately, the American Navy arrives eventually, and the peace is broken. The Japanese soldiers decide to satisfy honor and go out "with a bang", which is very likely what they would have done. I don't know how that movie would hold up with passage of time, but I liked it then. It was the first movie I ever saw that treated wartime Japanese as human beings.
