peter sellers....what a movie watched last night..."ve must learn to love za bomb"...........was evryone on drugs in the 60's???

yup, even Val Singleton

That was the brilliance of Director Stanley Kubrick....Dr. Stranglelove is really all about Donald Rumsfeld (the guy in charge of the Iraqi war failure) Kubrick just knew to make it half a century ago.....

so good ......rumy what a prince....."dimitri.....well you know"

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" - Priceless!

"Shit!... No shit, awright!"

ONE OF THE BEST FILMS EVER MADE !!!

It's a wonderful and witty movie. But PLEASE, stop this nonsense about Mr Rumsfeld and the Bush administration. Mr Bush is our president and a majority of the American people did VOTE for him in the re-election. That's what a democracy is all about. If you don't like your elected leaders, whining about it won't change a goddamn thing. Do something useful and constructive instead. In the meanwhile you might as well put on a Stones record and play it loud.
Thank you.

beautiful movie, peter sellers the BEST!!

Let It Bleed sounds appropriate (considering what happened in Iraq yesterday) Good Idea...

BTW Manhattan, I'm all for our elected leaders and WHEN THEY'RE ELECTED I don't have a problem. I don't recall Mr W being elected in 2000...I recall.....the Supreme Court installing him......ALSO, I'm in California and we have Arnold as Gov. and you've NEVER heard me say one word about him. The 2000 PREZ ELECTION was stolen in Florida my friend. And all my friends in Europe were asking "How come people didn't take to the streets and riot?" Well, I know why but I ain't saying it here. When gas hits $5 they probably will, maybe $6......

I have a rule, not to initiate a political discussion with people I dont know, or when Im drunk. So on that note, Dr. Strangelove is probably my favorite film. peter sellers in it (whom ive also been watching as inspector clouseau in the pink panther movies) is hilarious. Im not sure which one of the characters is in the bush administration now: the ntucase that launches the war, the timid, but strong speaking president, the over zealous general or the crazy scientist.
Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a Doomsday Machine is lost, if you *keep* it a *secret*! Why didn't you tell the world, EH?
Also on a side note, I thought the filming of the battle at Burpleson AFB was unique, as it would like very similar to the combat footage coming out of vietnam in a couple of years. Symbolism is great in this movie to. My favorite is how Kubrick frames Strategic Air Command's (the keepers of the US Nuclear Bombs) motto: "Peace is our Profession". Priceless.

I love Peter Sellers and I have yet to see this movie.

Seems like every time I get it something comes up and I never end up watching it.

Wasn't looking too good, but I was feeling real well.

read the book Fail Safe before you see this movie...it's a pretty quick read. Dr. Strangelove parodies the book quite well. The book was a U.S. bestseller in the early 1960's and Strangelove was release months before the Fail Safe movie.

the shoot 'em dead, brainbell jangler!
