one of the funniest black comedies ever

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 1999)

Dr. Strangelove, the name alone makes you giggle. Stanley Kubrick's cold war satire is still one of the best black comedies ever made. The movie basically states that all military officials are nuts. You've got Sterling Hayden as General Jack D. Ripper who is obsessed with bodily fluids. George C. Scott as gung ho Buck Turgidson. Slim Pickens as bomb riding Major Kong and Peter Sellars as Mandrake, the President, and of course Dr. Strangelove, whose right hand still holds allegiance to the Third Reich. Best thing to do is get a hold of the Criterion laserdisc and watch the film, then watch the actual films that were produced by the U.S. government about what to do in the event of a nuclear war. They are just as funny as the film, plus they were serious!
