After this film I dreamed black dreams about black sheep

Rating: Null/10 (3 July 2001)

The best cold-war film there is. It's a hilarious nightmare about the escalating arms race (and its consequences), in which Peter Sellers is obviously brilliant and George C. Scott is hilariously funny. Is it a coincidence that the book 'Red Alert' was written by Peter George? (could it have been Scott Sellers who wrote it?) Also, this is the best performance by Sterling Hayden (Asphalt Jungle, The Killing) I've seen so far. He has to be one of my favourite villains ever.
I saw this film by accident at 2 a.m. on my own and I couldn't control my (hilarious) emotions and imagination, so I probably woke up some neighbours by laughing. I simply watched it in one breath and dreamed about mushrooms. Those where black dreams about black sheep I assure you!
BTW 'Two hours to doom' doesn't apply completely to this satire, because the film unfortunately only takes 93 minutes, but those were the best spent 93 minutes of my life. The cinematographer Gilbert Taylor (Repulsion, Star Wars) and ofcourse Kubrick make it possible to watch this film again immediately after you saw it, simply to see the whole thing start and escalate again.
Why o why can't we vote 11 :(
