Best Dark Comedy Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 1999)

This is the best dark comedy ever. The writing and plot, particularly the juxtapositions that pop up, are outstanding and entertaining. But the real star, the thing that shines the brightest in this film is the performance of Peter Sellers. He plays three people; the British liaison officer, the president, and Dr Strangelove himself. His performances are the most important things in making this film so enjoyable, but the other elements are also fantastic. Ironically, the most widely recognized scene does not involve Sellars:Slim Pickins bomb ride. This film is the greatest dark comedy and the most memorable cold war movie ever made.
