Dr. Strangelove: Or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb!

I have surprisingly little to say about this film. As it stands, this is my favorite Stanley Kubrick film and remains a surprisingly timely film over forty years after it's release. If you have not seen this film than I have no pity for you. The plot surrounds a rogue army general giving a green light for to drop nuclear bombs on targets in Russia and also follows the actions that occur in the War Room, as the President tries to get answers on how this is possible and how to stop it. The film stars Peter Sellers, Goerge C. Scott and Sterling Hayden all in hilarious roles. It definitely requires a cynical attitude to fully appreciate but is worth watching even if you only like happy go lucky films. I suppose the main reason I have so little to say about this film is that it speaks better for itself than anything I can say. The film is great on it's first viewing and only improves on repeat viewing. If you have never seen it than just trust me that there is nothing I can say that will improve your experience, just give it a chances and you shouldn't be disappointed.
