Rating: 7/10 (2 August 2007)

Dr.Strangelove:Or How I learned How to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb -While Peter Sellers gets all the acclaim for his multiple roles- it is George C. Scott,Slim Pickens and Sterling Hayden that make this a lot of fun.Especially George C. Scott as General Buck Turgidson- he literally mauls the scenery in every scene and is funny while doing it.I fully admit the impact of this movie was lost on me- having heard many of it's best lines thru the years-but it was more entertaining than the dour Fail Safe -something I also watched this year.This dark comedy skewers the military and the whole concept of mutually assured destruction.I think my favorite Sellers character is the understated president who is cajoling the Russian leader on the phone.Worth a rental. B+
