 I recently viewed a little film known as Dr. Strangelove, and I must admit that it left me literally speechless. I mean, I'm not even entirely sure where to post it. It wasn't really a bad movie but not a good one either. It was mostly strange with a little bit of off-beat humor. Anyway, what have all of you that have also seen this film got to say about it?

DR. STRANGELOVE, a bad movie?  Question  You wouldn't find many people who would fall into that camp.  It's almost universally beloved, considered by many to be the best black comedy ever made.  Sellers amazing performance in three roles, some of the most quotable lines of all time ("Gentlemen, you can't fight in here!  This is the war room!")   After watching another year or two of dumb, predictable comedies, come back to it again.  I bet that "strange, offbeat" humor will seem a lot more appealing.

Then again, I am old enough to remember the cold war... maybe younger people just can't put themselves in that mindset anymore and appreciate the tense comedy.

DR. STRANGELOVE is a classic.  Not just a good movie, mind you.  But a classic!  It's hilarious and chilling at the same time, and the acting is excellent all the way around.

I thought it was pretty good.  Most of the comedy in the War Room was a bit over the top for my tastes, but I got a kick out of the "precious bodily fluids" guy.  I loved the way the bomber crew was depicted - ultra serious and wiling to go to any lengths to complete their mission.  And Slim Pickens yelling Ye-haw! while sitting on a nuke;  That was classic.

I tried to watch Dr. Strangelove, long ago.  I don't remember much of it except that I didn't like it, and some guy had a fake arm, or something.  The "no fighting in the war room" line was where it lost me, I believe.  I don't think I finished watching it after that.  See, he says no fighting but it's the War Room.  That's just hilariousLookingup

Now that I'm a little older and might "get" it, I might try watching it again.  Maybe.  If I've not got anything better to do.
