Catch-22 (1970)
In "Catch-22," a World War II aviator strives to declare himself insane to escape the dangerous missions he's forced to undertake. However, he discovers that the military's paradoxical rule—whereby seeking sanity is considered a sign of rationality—traps him in a bureaucratic nightmare. As he navigates the absurdities of war and the mind-bending regulations that govern it, he grapples with the futility of his situation, ultimately highlighting the dark humor and chaos inherent in military life.
