A great comedy that almost wasn't

Rating: 10/10 (10 September 2002)

Thank goodness, Stanley Kubrick changed this movie from being a straight drama to what is considered one of the greatest comedies of all time. This movie is chock full of great bits and one liners that one could watch it over and over and never get tired of it. My favorite scene has to be Peter Sellers' President's phone conversation with the Soviet Union President over who is more sorry. The line, "Gentlemen you can't fight in here, this is the war room!" belongs right up there with "Nobody's perfect" as lines that need no clarification. One of the top five comedies in my opinion.
