Summary: Yeah and you thought so.
Review: Some one wrote that this was a "fun movie and a great parody on the government", what they really meant was that this movie is a great diagram of how governments are run and the people who run them and what they are like. Some times the absurd is the real and what we think or laugh at is the reality that we live with, but we hope, we pray for sanity, yet all we get is that which we see on the big screen, its not a parody its real.

Summary: "You Can't Fight Here! This Is The War Room"
Review: This movie is pure genius. Stanley Kubrick is a brilliant director, and it's movies like this that prove that point even further.Colonel Jack Ripper, concerned with the purity of his fluids, sends a squadron of bombers to the Soviet Union without consulting the President. Hunkering down in his base office, no one can get in touch with him to send the recall codes. The Soviets are ready to respond with their own "Doomsday Device," that promises to wipe out all civilation. Does the U.S. have time to call off their boys? The names, alone, of the characters will keep you easily amused, added to a fine film. Anyone named Sargeant "Bat" Guano, "if that is your real name," has to be amusing. Sterling Hayden, in one of his best acting performances, plays the perfect colonel-gone-mad Ripper. George C. Scott, not really known for his comedic roles, is outstanding as General Turgidson. His straight-guy, take no prisoners attitude is absolutely perfect for this role, and truly adds a lot of color and depth to this "black comedy." Peter Sellers has three roles in the movie, including the wacky, losing-all-bodily-control title character, and President Muffley. His War Room telephone conversations with the Soviet Prime Minister are classicly hysterical, marked with totally outlandish, yet intelligent dialogue. "No, I am more sorry!" But the actor that truly stands out is Slim Pickens, as bomber pilot, Captain "King" Kong. His role at the end of the movie is a part of pop culture that people still talk about today. Overall, this film is nothing short of sensational. The witty dialogue is perfect, adding to the humorous tones of the storyline. Kubrick was well ahead of his time in 1964 when this movie was made, and this is seen even more so when viewed today. This fantastic film is guaranteed to make you laugh out loud. It's one entertaining ride.

Summary: simply ingenious
Review: After the travesty to film that is 2001, I was uneasy about Kubrick's other movies. However, I was willing to give this one a chance because it had the late, great Peter Sellers. Now I know that Kubrick actually made at least one good film! Sellers is amazing in three roles that could not be more different from each other. It is well deserved in its position as the greatest black comedy ever made, unlike some other Kubrick films I could mention cough...2001.

Summary: Funny Movie
Review: There are many movies that I would consider funny. I think movies like Caddyshack, Tommy Boy, and Animal House are funny. This movie is also funny, but in a different way. This movie has the comedic elements of the other films, but because it is a Kubrick movie it adds a touch of sophistication. It offers many memorable performances. Peter Sellars is great - three times. George C. Scott proves he can do it all. Slim Pickens offers up one of the most memorable scenes of all-time. This is something that has been mimicked many times. Best of all by the Simpsons, but I won't get into that. Scott portrays the military general with great gusto, and proves his comedic genious. He does physical humor, he shows his great timing, and also delivers many great lines. My favorite is the one about the "big board." This is a great movie for many different reasons. It is great to look back at a time in America's history in which there wasn't a lot to laugh at, and get to see in some small way how foolish it all really was. I recommend everyone to see it.

Summary: A Satire that shows just how crazy this world is!
Review: Dr. Strangelove brings the fear of nuclear destruction to a humerous end. It shows how one crazy general's quest to protect "precious bodily fluids" and stop the "Floridation of the water, which spreads communisism into our precious bodily fluids!" Hilarious and humerous, a good movie to watch and laugh!

Summary: One of the funniest movies I've ever seen....
Review: Everyone is hilarious. George C. Scott flexes his comedic muscle - but Sellers is right at home. He plays 3 roles - each one uniquely funny. I laughed so hard, I embarrassed myself...

Summary: The Ultimate Poilitical Satire
Review: "How Does The Fate of the World hang on a Coca-Cola Machine?" "Why Did U.S. H-Bombers attack Russia?" "What is the Doomsday device?" "Why was Gen. Jack D. Ripper so obsessed with fluids." "Why did Dr. Stranglove want 'Ten Females to each Male?" "Where was the Red Premier When The Hot-line Rang?" Well, guess what. you're never going to be able to answer these questions unless you watch this cinematic masterpiece. Directed by Stanley Kubrick. Who is, by far one of the greatest directors in the history of the Motion Picture. To prove it, three of his films are even on the AFI's top 100 greatest films. 2001, A Clockwork Orange, and of course this movie milestone. jam-packed with an excellent ensemble cast topped with the triple-threat performances by Peter Sellers as Mandrake, The Prsident, and the eccentric ex-nazi, Dr. Strangelove. and also joining a vast array of notable talent, including, George C. Scott playing the pure blood american General Buck Turgidson, Slim Pickens as the sharp Major Kong, who rides the 40 megaton nuclear bull down to it's target, Sterling Hayden as the liquid loving Gen. Ripper, and Even a very young James Earl Jones. Kubrick had alot of gall to make a comedy about nuclear paranoia right in the midst of a time of nuclear paranoia. But the movie ended up surprisingly well-recieved. Kubrick had spanwed a comedy that could only be summed up in one word... INSANE!!! The story begins with Gen. Ripper ordering a nuclear attack on Russia which, in effect would cause a massive retaliation back at the U.S. Now it's a race against time to prevent a nuclear holocaust, and still keep good relations with Russia. "Dimitri, I understand how you feel. How do you think I feel?" After all these years "Strangelove" is still one one the funniest films to ever be made. It's also one of the more pure comedies ever made. It's rare you come across a comedy without the use of perverted jokes consisting of rude bodily functions and dirty sex. "Dr. Strangelove" possesses a wonderful balance of verbal and physical comedy. An example being a hilarious scene where Strangelove is promoting an absurd notion of reproducing the human race in bunkers while dueling with his malignant right hand. It doesn't get better than that. The special edition DVD pays an excellent tribute to both Staney Kubrick and The film with two highly in-depth behind the scenes featurettes, and along with an also humorus theatrical trailer. This is one of the most influential films ever made so please watch it and see what I mean.

Summary: Excellent Movie!!!
Review: Dr.Strangelove is one of the best films ever made! For it's time it was racy and had lots of innuendos and (at the time) social satire.George C. Scott should be recognized for this as one of his best roles next to "Patton" he is absolutely hilarious!!Peter Sellers and of course Slim Pickens are fabulous also. the "dead-pan" "I'm being serious" style of directing and acting make this film even funnier. Leave it to Kubrick to take a serious subject and make it a black comedy classic!!He has made some truely wonderful films! Too bad he ended on a sour note like "Eyes Wide Shut".But please do yourself a favor and check this one out. And while your at it check out the many other GREAT films hehas made!!I am 39 years old and I LOVE to turn someone younger weaned on 80's T.V. or movies on to this masterpiece!!ENJOY!!

Summary: My third review for this wonderful movie
Review: Dr. Strangelove gets humor out of everything possible. The opening credits (An in-flight refueling of a B-52 and KC-135), is the parody of a porno flick, right down to the use of the theme "Try a little tenderness". The names of the targets assigned to the B-52 crew include Laputa (The fictional kingdom in Gulliver's Travels, though I haven't read the book) and Coatloss (Self-explanatory). The battle for Burpelson Air Force Base is waged in front of a sign with the SAC motto "Peace is our Profession" on it. Also, funny are General "Buck" Turgidson's lines ("I think we should hold off judgment until the facts are in", "It's not fair to condemn a whole program because of a single slip-up!", "General Ripper has already invalidated that policy!", "It appears that General Ripper has exceeded his authority" "Gee I wish we had one of them Doomsday machines!"). Then of course, there are some memorable scenes that must not be forgotten. The phone call between wimpy President Merkin Muffely and Soviet Premier Kissoff ("A man of the people, but also a man..."), General Ripper's obsession with purity of essence and our natural fluids, Colonel Bat Guano's obsession with deviated preverts, the survival-kit contents check (Which includes chewing gum, lipsticks, nylon-stockings and a miniature Russian phrase book/bible), Major Kong's riding of the Hydrogen Bomb to oblivion and Dr. Strangelove describing the 10 females for every male ratio in the underground mineshafts, the Doctor exclaiming "There'd be much time and little to do". Then the Doomsday machine goes off to the happy themes of Vera Lynn's "We'll meet again". Okay, so I just gave away half the plot. But I have watched this film 100 million times and I still like it. You will too.
