Arguably the greatest black comedy ever made, Stanley Kubrick's cold war classic is the ultimate satire of the nuclear age. Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so-called "Doomsday Device," and the world hangs in the balance while the U.S. president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about "acceptable losses." With dialogue ("You can't fight here! This is the war room!") and images (Slim Pickens's character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick's film regularly appears on critics' lists of the all-time best. --Jeff Shannon

 Dr. Strangelove August 20, 2010
Gerald E. Takach
This is an important classic movie. Brilliantly conceived and directed by Stanley Kubrick. Peter Sellers is fantastic in multiple roles. It's as fresh and relevant today as it was then. I've seen it many times and it's one of the few DVDs that I own.
Aspect Math June 14, 2010

If you do the math, the 4:3 aspect ratio works out to 1.33 which is the NTSC format
for home viewing. I'm going to enjoy watching both format versions, and the black
and white, plus color quite immensely of this cult classic from our brilliant L.I. director Stanley Kubrick. The DVD probably wasn't even thought of when this film was
made, CD's might have been a concept at the time of 8-tracks and before the cassette
tape cartridge. Have fun boys and girls!
A must watch classic! May 19, 2010

One of the must watch movies. This movie is in the list of IMDB's top 100 and rightly so. The comedy, satire, and great acting all come together in of Stanley Kubiks best works.
