Madly hilarious

Rating: 10/10 (12 August 1999)

Easily the funniest movie I have seen, on par with Some Like it Hot. It takes a situation that would be perfect for a drama, nuclear disaster, then Kubrick turns it into a satire. He decided that what he wanted to tell the audience was crazier than the book it was depicted on, so he made the movie a comedy.
What performances? Peter Sellers was amazing in his triple role, as the British military officer, the president of the USA, and as a wierd Scientist, Dr. Strangelove. The scene where he is talking to the Russian premier (?) is devastatingly funny.
A true classic, and Kubrick's best (along with 2001: A Space Odyssey)
