10 Incredible Movies That Should Have Won Best Picture Oscar

3.Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

What Won Instead: My Fair Lady Stanley Kubrick was never an Academy favourite 2001: A Space Odyssey was never nominated along with several of his films. Dr. Strangelove is a Cuban Missile Crisis Era dark comedy that leaves you feeling uneasy. It makes sense that the film that won is My Fair Lady, a bright and charming musical spectacle that makes people optimistic. All that Dr. Strangelove offers is the chilling idea that the people in charge of the nuclear weapons are just people €” people who can be petty, incompetent, and crazy. It€™s so chilling that the only thing that you can do about it is laugh. I guess the Academy didn€™t want to bum everyone out.
