Catch-22 (1970) - Alan Arkin, Martin Balsam, Art Garfunkel, Bob Newhart, Anthony Perkins

Satirical black comedy adapted from the 1961 novel by Joseph Heller. Set on the tiny, fictional island of Pianosa in the Mediterranean off the coast of Italy in the time of the Second World War, Catch-22 introduces Yossarian (Alan Arkin), an American pilot who just wants to stop flying missions and risking his neck for a cause he doesn’t believe in. Yossarian is a reasonable man who does his best to be proclaimed unreasonable, as he simply wants to avoid being shot down, but in the process of trying to get certified as mad, he approaches the verge of losing his mind.
