probably the best war-comedy

Rating: 10/10 (11 September 2002)

I can't say anything that hasn't been said before about how great this movie is, and the fact that it is not dated. Some details may be dated, but the gist of the movie is still as actual as it was on release. Go and watch it, but turn your brain on and listen to the dialogues. I just can't get it how someone couldn't find the absurdity of the situation the protagonists find themselves in funny. Perhaps a slight spoiler to give you the idea : at one point in the movie, we have two regiments of the US army fighting and killing each other. That, of course, isn't funny. But if you watch closely, you'll notice that during the whole sequence, you can see a panel in the back. it's an advertisement for the US Army stating 'Peace is our Business'. If you don't think this is funny, then you won't get Dr.Strangelove's humour.
