How I learned to stop worrying and love Kubrick.

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 1998)

Without a doubt one of the greatest comedies of all time. Probably the strongest testament to the brilliance of this film is the fact that even though it was made over 30 years ago, the film does not seem dated at all and its various comments on the insanity of nuclear war are just as relevant as when it was first released. Sellers delivers an absolute tour-de-force acting job in his triple role as bumbling US president Muffley, the stuffy-yet-courageous Col. Mandrake, and the lunatic genius Strangelove. And as with all great films, the supporting characters are just as strong, including George C. Scott as gung-ho commie-hating General "Buck" Turgidson, and Slim Pickens as patriotic redneck bomber pilot Major Kong. Strangelove, like all of Kubrick's masterpieces, just gets better and better upon repeat viewing. Do yourself a favour and check this one out.
