Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, more commonly known simply as Dr. Strangelove, is a 1964 British-American black comedy film that satirizes the nuclear scare. It was directed, produced, and co-written by Stanley Kubrick, stars Peter Sellers and George C. Scott, and features Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, and Slim Pickens. The film is loosely based on Peter George's Cold War thriller novel Red Alert (also known as Two Hours to Doom).

The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a first strike nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It follows the President of the United States, his advisers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and a Royal Air Force (RAF) officer as they try to recall the bombers to prevent a nuclear apocalypse. It separately follows the crew of one B-52 bomber as they try to deliver their payload.

In 1989, the United States Library of Congress included it in the first group of films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. It was listed as number three on AFI's 100 Years...100 Laughs list.


Can't believe I forgot to post this classic, I mean how many great scenes did this film have, one funniest films I've seen, smile

Have not seen it in decades. But the scene where Sellers is trying to control his arm. The Russian is cracking up watching him. Then they leave that scene in the movie instead of shooting it again was freaking funny even for me. I did not laugh much in those years.

This movie is shown three or four times a year on TCM. I try to catch it when I can. It's one of my all-time favorites. There is something sublime in Slim Pickens riding an H-Bomb dropped from a bomber.
