Yes indeed one of the greatest films ever made. Kubrick at his very best. Peter Sellers in his most profound multi character roles. It's an All Star cast with Slim Pickens, Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott and more.
Seller's best line of the film: "Mein Furher I can walk" as he rises from bhis wheel chair.
When i first saw the film, in 1964 I needed to be carried out of the theater for laughing uncontrollably.

This is the funniest film ever made. Peter Sellers at his peak, with the most biting satire ever devised. This comes from the minds of co-writers Stanley Kubrick and Terry Southern. The plot is as follows in a nutshell: General Jack D. Ripper goes mad and orders his planes to go attack Russia. The rest of the film consists of the rest of the world trying to prevent this occurance. The film only has three locations: Ripper's office, the cockpit of a B-52, and the War Room. To put it simply this film is a comedy about "nuculur combat toe to toe with the Ruuskies." Every viewing gives a new aspect to the film. Although Peter Sellers is brilliant, every other character is flawless: George C. Scott walks away with the film, as manly General Turgidson. Filled to brim with taut direction, Dr. Strangelove is not only a comedic masterpiece, it is a master enjoying himself creating a masterwork of art. Note: This is the edition to get. i cannot stress this enough. This DVD has Kubrick's approved alternating transfer that switches between 1.33:1 and 1.66:1. The new "restored anniversary edition" has a 1.66:1 transfer that crops the top and bottom of the frame completely off. I've compared the two, and the only good thing about the new edition is a few bonus features. This edition has plenty though. And it has a much better price with Kubrick's true vision of the film.
What's great about it: One of the best from the Master
What's not so great: Cons? Apalling lack of bodily fluids....

I had previously owned Dr. Strangelove on Blu-ray, but I sold it thanks to high resale value and the expectation that maybe Sony would upgrade it with a new anniversary edition. Instead, I ended up with this Steelbook, which is identical to the disc I previously owned, but has the nice new Pop Art design. My only complaint is that it doesn't have the full title on the spine.

Definitely an interesting and different movie. Some of the I bought this one because I originally saw it about 4 years ago and when I found it was on bluray, I couldn't resist buying it.

I really liked the Sting. With all its twists and turns, it made for a interesting experience. I have always liked Paul Newman and Robert Redford . Playing together,made for a great show. The 1930's Chicago has always intriged me.

I heard lots of people loved this movie so I was really excited when I bought it, but what a disappointment, I didn't like the movie at all, not my cup of tea. Maybe people find Peter Sellers funny, I don't find him funny at all.

A bizarre, yet comedic tale about the futility of nuclear warfare. Enjoyable, but not the kind of film most people would enjoy watching over and over again. Nevertheless, recommended.
