Maybe you had to be there :-). Like most satires, it dates a little bit as time passes. Slim Pickens riding the bomb down to Armageddon, though, in a fit of yee-haw cowboy patriotism -- that will _never_ date.
Somebody mentioned Harold and Maude; don't know how I forgot that one; it was one of my favorite films back in the '70s, plus I'd actually been to a lot of the places around the SF Bay where they'd shot it. Life of Brian, too -- I guess because it's Python I put it in a special category, but they don't come any darker. How 'bout the guys nailed up on crosses singing "Let's Look on the Bright Side of Life" at the end as the camera pulls back for the last time? Wow.
