Review of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964) by Ravensman345 — 20 Aug 2015
Kubrick's black comedy is both hilarious and shockingly intelligent. Peter Sellers turns in the best comedic performance of all time(imo) in his portrayal of three surprisingly different characters. The whole movie is a satire on nuclear war, paranoia and how governments were run during the Cold War.
While there are many iconic moments, Kong riding the bomb and the fight in the War Room, Sellers' portrayal of the former Nazi Dr. Strangelove is genius and the he's the real star of the movie. Combine that to a great performance from George C.
Scott, brilliant direction from Kubrick and quick pacing and Dr. Strangelove might be the best comedy of all time, and is of the best movies ever made.
