No words can describe this film

Rating: 10/10 (28 August 2005)

Can you believe the original was lost in a fire. Imagine what that must have been like. I go to the film forum in NYC ever year to watch the annual showing of the film. It never disappoints. There are so many great lines and performances they can't be mentioned here.
The late great Peter Sellers was hilarious, but the other late great George C. Scott was off the chart only because you didn't expect to see him play a comical role. There's a scene when he's sitting in the 'war room' with his head slightly lowered and looking across the room at the president. The look alone is hilarious, he grimaces and delivers a few moments later a comical line like, "when the Russians look the big board, they are going to go absolutely Ape!" Or something to that affect, I nearly fell out, he was dead pan funny.
My top ten favorite movie are very difficult to choose but his one is in my top five...easily. Top five: Alien, Dr. Strange Love, Little Big Man, Taking of Pelham 1,2,3, Ninth Configuration and Catch 22.
