Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb - (Kubrick;1964;UK) - ****
An insane general launches a nuclear attack on Russia while the president, a ex-Nazi scientist, and other politicians and generals try to stop it in the war room.
One of the best, if not the best black comedy ever. An excellent satire on the Cold War with a great cast. Peter Sellers is wonderful as Dr. Strangelove, the president, and Mandrake. George C. Scott is one of the more humorous actors with all of his expressions in the film. Sterling Hayden is also great as the insane general. Kubrick's direction is another notch on his belt of great films. Without a doubt one of the greatest filmmakers ever.
