Dr. Strangelove
Movie #82 released in 1964 added to the Registry in 1989.
The Plot: When someone issues an attack order that may lead to nuclear holocaust, a room full of politicians and army leaders have to stop.

And it’s only Golden Globe, people. We shouldn’t take this Award too seriously. But if out of curiosity you wonder if George Clooney really is on top of the waiting list for this kind of recognition? The answer is for sure, not. These are at least 5 other big names who should have been considered urgently for this award instead (in no particular order):
