Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb

[notoaststereo]

I finally got to see this movie last night and I must say it is one of the best and most hysterical movies I have ever seen. I don't know what took so long for me to see this movie.

Anyone else seen it? What do you think?

my dad tried to get me to watch this when I was younger, probably around 14 or 15, but I didn't like it. I need to watch it again now that I'm older and can probably appreciate it more.

I absolutely love this movie.... who knew the end of the world could be so entertaining. I didn't see it until I was eighteen either... so I know how easy it is to procrastinate the classics.

[ThexQuietxCull]

probably one of my favorite movies of all time. it is just superb

Definitely one of the two or three greatest comedies of all time. Peter Sellers is just incredible and Kubrick did a fantastic job in casting and soliciting great performances from a wide range of actors.

I believe it was Ebert who wrote that it was the first and possibly only movie he had ever seen where every shot and scene was neccessary, and there weren't fillers to make the movie normal theater-run time.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room"

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here, this is the war room"that was hysterical.

thats pretty interesting about what ebert said though. and pretty incredible

It's crazy to think that Sellers would have played 4 roles had he not broken his leg.

haha yeah. i also heard another reason he didnt play major was because he couldnt perfect the texas accent.

[unwritten]

That's funny....I was just in Best Buy last night checking out the DVD. I definitely need to go back there and buy it.

[TheBaroness]

One of my all-time favorites

Peter Sellers is brilliant

[micahistheballs]

i love the phone conversation between the president and the premier

there's so much subtle humour in it. it's great.

I'm pretty sure that the week he finally got it was the week that he got hurt. Or at least that's what I recall.

[mutualaddiction]

What a great movie. I wrote my first college paper on this movie, and my taste in film has definitely gone up hill since then. I owe a lot to Dr. Stangelove.

[gloriousmuse]

i love this film. ive been trying to get the dvd for almost five years, but everywhere i go where they DO have it is ridiculously overpriced (same goes for A Clockwork Orange, which is my favourite film) :-(. I would do it online, but i really don't like to.

[framebyframe]

I think it's on tv tonight, and I am planning on watching it.

without a doubt the funniest (semi)conversation I have seen put to film.

"It's a *friendly* call. Of course it's a friendly call... Listen, if it wasn't friendly... you probably wouldn't have even got it..."

[reductiondesign]

One of my favorites.

[xfantabulousx]

i love dr. strangelove! such a great movie. 100% total classic. i watch it with my dad...it's his favorite.

i think the first time i saw it i was 10 or 11. i didn't get it until i took american history in 9th grade and learned a little about the cold war. now i take this history class that's completely about the cold war and was asking my teacher if he had seen it. he hadn't! i was so surprised....we were learning about mutual assured destruction at the time too.

[micahistheballs]

i think George C. Scott's acting is often way too overlooked. He does phenomenal, of course so does the whole cast, but he always stood out to me.

[avengedtbs]

I just saw this movie for the first time a couple of weeks ago in my Cold War writing class. I absolutely loved it.

Well, The 2 Disc Special Edition is 8.99 this week at the Best Buy.
