 Sir Adam's Micro Review: Dr Strangelove: or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb Jan 09, 2009
Peter Sellers and crew are at their best in Stanley Kubrick's Dr Strangelove. Though the subject is serious, it never lacks in laughs. Rewatch Factor 5 stars
Peter Sellers Was A Genius Dec 31, 2008
I didn't get around to seeing this movie till I was almost thirty. I figured it would be another stupid overrated "classic" but instead I found out it's exactly the brilliant piece it's hailed to be. Peter Sellers is amazing here with his trio of performances, filling the screen with his virtuoso presence and embodying three characters who could not be any less similar. This is one of the funniest, scariest, most insane projects ever committed to film.
A masterpiece! Dec 19, 2008
This is possibly one of the best of Kubrick's works. Darn funny. I love George C. Scott as the nutcase general who is really acting like a high school grad. Then Peter Sellers is there... what a great job. Dr. Strangelove is thus far my most favorite movie.
A classic Dec 09, 2008
I absolutely loved this movie. It is a dark satire on the Cold War/nuclear war paranoia the United States had and the whole "red scare". If you understand that this is a political satire, then you will find this movie hilarious. It is a classic. You can see it referenced or alluded to in many popular movies and books today. Many presidents even saw the movie and have used it as an odd reference point. This is a great addition to anyone's DVD collection but history buffs would especially love it.

 It's kind of like Catch-22, except not funny Dec 09, 2008
There is nothing worse, when it comes to comedy, than blatant satire; YOU CAN'T FIGHT IN HERE, THIS IS THE WAR ROOM.
Wow, hilarious, because it's a room where they talk about wars, where fighting goes on.
Kubrick made a few masterpieces, and a few mediocre films, this is his one complete and total bomb.
