'Dr Strangelove or : How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb' is a film directed by Stanley Kubrick in the 1964. It is a comedy satirizing the threat of nuclear apocalype during the height of the Cold War. It deals with the politics, sex, and social issues of the day.
Sidney Lumet's 1976 satirical film, 'Network' is about the innerworkings of a fictional television station, and its attempts to improve ratings. Its a critque of telelvision, but also of other maladies of the 1970s. It also foreshadows the shameless trends in tv and advertising.
The 1994 film 'Pulp Fiction' by Quentin Tarentino captures the essense of the time in which it was made with it extensive use of postmodern conventions. It is self-referential, uses unconventional narrative structure, and employs appropriation and pastiche.
