The Screens Blackest Comedy.

Rating: 10/10 (4 March 2009)

"Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb" is the definitive black comedy. Forget "The Ladykillers", any film that can joke about complete destruction of the Earth, deserves to be remembered. From Peter Sellers three roles (Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove) and his two classic lines ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room!" as President Merkin Muffley and "Mein Führer! I can walk!" as Dr. Strangelove) and George C. Scott as Gen. 'Buck' Turgidson ("I didn't say we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than ten to twenty million people killed"), it dosn't put a foot wrong.
