Catch-22

From Amazon:

Plot Outline: A man is trying desperately to be certified insane during World War II, so he can stop flying missions. Plot Synopsis: A bombardier in World War II tries desperately to escape the insanity of the war. However, sometimes insanity is the only sane way cope with a crazy situation. Catch-22 is a parody of a "military mentality" and of a bureaucratic society in general.

This is the movie of the book who's title became part of our language. It got mixed reviews but I liked it when it came out and I still do. The movie still holds true. Some things never change. You also might think about reading the book.
