People are voting emotionally.

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

This brilliant movie is a blazing accusation against the entire male gender. Yes, my fellow gentlemen, through rational looking, but deeply down, sexually motivated power play, we placed the knife to the entire world's throat. Nothing nails this better than the iconic ride of a proud 30-megaton tail. The film's humour may redeem our stupidity for some, but the potential death of billions is not an easy fun matter for me. This film makes me feel ashamed to be a man whenever I watch it.

Hyperbolic fun, with strange characters to highlight the point. Has a unique story that is executed very well and tries to show what could possibly happen if nuclear weapons were used.I enjoyed the characters of Buck and Mandrake, both are unlike any other characters I have seen before. Buck has a great delivery of lines with his booming voice whereas Mandrake has a likable charm. The president was very interesting too, his conversations on the phone are so absurd they become funny. However, sometimes I found it a little hard to follow the plot.The editing and cinematography are very good too, with a large long shot that is contrasted with an extreme close up later. This highlights the tension between the characters and is key to the understanding of the film. Overall, a great satire with great cinematography.

I wanted to watch this film because I was interested in famous movies by some famous directors. Found Stanley Kubrick, cause I don't know about him much, and began to watch "Dr. Strangelove..." in English with English subs. I understood all the stuff that was happening: nuclear bombs thrown on Soviet Union, some warriors, presidents, an ambassador from USSR(who was a stereotypical Communist, atheist and was awfully looking, the actor who played him couldn't speak Russian at all, and spoke with an awful accent). Secondly, the main protagonists, the US soldiers were speaking about Russians like "they drink only vodka, blah-blah-blah...". Yes, movie was made while the "Cold War was all around, but I didn't enjoy it and dropped in the middle. And there was a moment with a woman ONLY in underwear who spoke on the phone! That was really ridiculous!

Stanley Kubrick really got some of my favorite movies done: Shining, Clockwork Orange, and yes, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. (Of course, I also like and recommend Paths of Glory, Spartacus, and Full Metal Jacket).George C. Scott as the mad and paranoid Gen.'Buck' Turgidson, and Peter Sellers in his roles (Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake, President Merkin Muffley and Dr. Strangelove) on the road of destroying the planet (and first of all the Sowjetunion!) in a nuclear holocaust.Fine and lots of humor and a satirical sharp view on a world on the verge of madness and destruction - in its finest moments the movie reminds me of the notorious The Life of Brian.That the scientist Dr. Stranglove, who is an adviser to the US President and the generals and maybe the last hope for mankind to stop the ultimate war is obviously an ex-scientist of the Nazi 3rd Reich, is just one of those fine jabs into societies smugness that make this movie grand.
