Timeless comedy - Sellers delivers a masterclass

Rating: 9/10 (22 July 2012)

This is the funniest film I've ever seen. Its comedy is timeless, and I can watch Dr. Strangelove's scenes over and over and still laugh out loud.
Sellers' performance sets him out as possibly the greatest actor of all time, particularly his improvised portrayal of Strangelove. Strangelove is the only one that is enjoying the impending destruction of the world, in every scene he has an eerie smirk. He's also the one they all turn to for advice on what to do next.
Strangelove the genius, hilarious, mad, (ex?) Nazi, scientist... who would be institutionalised as criminally insane had he not been a genius. In the end turns out to be our saviour!
