Or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb
Stanley Kubrick's black comedy classic about an "accidental" nuclear attack received four Oscar nominations (including Best Picture, 1964). Convinced the Commies want to pollute America's "precious bodily fluids," a crazed general (Sterling Hayden) orders a nuclear air strike on the U.S.S.R. As his aide, Captain Mandrake (Peter Sellers), scrambles to unlock a recall code to prevent the bombing, the U.S. President (Sellers again) calls a drunken Soviet Premier on the hotline claiming the proposed attack is all a silly mistake, while the President's advisor (an ex-Nazi scientist) Dr. Strangelove (Sellers once more) verifies the existence of a dreaded Doomsday Machine - a retaliatory device designed by the Soviets to end the human race once and for all!

"No fighting in the War Room!" - 3.5 out of 5 (11/23/2004)
I had always heard about this film, but never gave it any thought. Many respected filmmakers have raved about how good this film is, so finally I caved in and watched it. Wow! Not only is this film hilarious, but is also a political and militaristic staple in time. The film is a voice on the threat of nuclear war with a sense of humor. This film is definitely one for the collection.
