Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (Kubrick;1964) ****

This is my first time watching this film, believe it or not. I was going through the free movies in my "OnDemand" menu, and came across it. I'd heard great things, so I decided to watch it.

The only thing I regret is not watching this film sooner. Great performances all around, especially Peter Sellers (Group Captain (G/C) Lionel Mandrake/President Merkin Muffley/Dr. Strangelove) and George C. Scott. (Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson).

But my favorite was by far was Brig. Gen. Jack D. Ripper, as portrayed by Captain McKlusky himself, Sterling Hayden. His constant rants about bodily fluids had me in stitches.

My favorite quote from the film:

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


"Growing up my dad was like 'You have a great last name, Galifianakis. Galifianakis...begins with a gal...and ends with a kiss...' I'm like that's great dad, can we get it changed to 'Galifianafuck' please?" -- Zach Galifianakis
