"Wow," is what I said after I watched it. Really.

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 1999)

In my opinion, Dr. Strangelove is truly one of the best movies ever made. It is such a great satire about the intrinsic insanity of the nuclear arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union. The genius of the movie is that it is not overtly funny - it conveys the situation in a plausible way in the context of the story, bringing out the lunacy of our doomsday scenarios and MAD policy against the Soviet Union, and theirs against us: the definition of the Cold War. I also thought that in this movie, and I have seen a lot of movies, I saw the best acting of any movie I have ever seen. Everyone played their roles perfectly, and I'm not just saying that casually. I personally think that acting is very easy and nothing to celebrate, but Stanley Kubrick really found the best actors he could for those parts - they really could not have been acted better. Everyone was absolutely great, and I genuinely do feel that it should win the hypothetical best acting category for all-time movies.
Dr. Strangelove was ingenious and artistic AND very entertaining. Its cinematic value is immense, and I consider it one of the best movies, if not the best movie, that I have ever seen. I exemplifies what artistic moviemaking should be.
