I always considered it a comedy

On my lists (hey, it's just the way I have *my* lists arranged - we can each put these things wherever we like), 'Dr. Strangelove' stands among the top five comedies of all time. Kubrick was one heck of a director; it's a shame he is gone. Sellers is positively brilliant, as is Scott, as is... It's hard to pick a favorite line, but the bit about, "No fighting in the War Room!" always kills me. We've recently touched on one of the others - Mel Brooks' 'Blazing Saddles'.

I suppose it fits into the genre of SciFi. It certainly works as a better SciFi vehicle than the myriad monster movies in SciFi guise. Your justification is sound - it's all a matter of perspective. As Rod mentioned, that would drag 'A Clockwork Orange' into the mix giving Kubrick three masterworks in the genre.
