One of the best films ever...

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2005)

Most would agree that Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb is not only one of the greatest dark comedies ever made...but one of the best films of all time. Kubrick's theme may have lost a bit of its power as the Cold War (according to some) has ended...but those familiar with the circumstances of world politics during that time will find the narrative hilarious. The key to this film's success begins with Peter Sellers. His triple role in the film is one of the best performances ever. Check it out! Kubrick's choice of black and white adds a stark reality to the work...watch Dr. Strangelove even in the depths of summer and it will send chills up your spine. One word of advice...don't get lost in the symbolism of Kubrick's Strangelove. Treat it like an eccentric friend.
