One of the finest Black Comedies Ever!

Rating: 9/10 (22 October 2006)

Ever since its cinema release, this film has remained relevant. As very few US presidents over the last 4 decades have been anything other than idiots or schmoozers, the possibility of a "Dr Strangelove" nuclear scenario remains a distinct possibility.
It's interesting to read (in the IMDb "Trivia") that Slim Pickens played his role of Major Kong straight because he wasn't made aware of the satirical content of the rest of the movie. In the light of this fact, I suppose that if you strung all of the B52 bombing mission scenes together, you'd have a pretty good recruitment film for Strategic Air Command.
"Dr Strangelove" is a perfect example of the absurdity within rigid political and military methodology. It's also very funny!
