Dr. Strangelove is a superb movie---and not an indulgence in self-hating Americanism

I am a staunch Republican conservative who thoroughly enjoyed Dr. Strangelove. It is not an indulgence in self-hating Americanism. Sadly, we cannot ignore the outside possibility that a political or military leader might go crazy and murder millions of people. This movie reminds us of the serious responsibility of safeguarding our weapons of mass destruction systems. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that whatsoever! A sharp distinction must be made between naively advocating unilateral disarmament---and prudently taking steps to limit the odds against human error or malevolence.

Please watch Dr. Stangelove and judge it only by what is actually on the screen. The fact that it was created by left-wingers is not relevant. They did not cross the line and ridicule our country in this particular instance. I am sure that you will find Dr, Strangelove highly entertaining and thought provoking. It is truly one of the great movies of all time.

A triple play for Peter Sellers

A great British film, trenchantly satirical in a fashion that is usually best mustered by the Brits, and as such is often hilariously funny: An insane US Air Force general called "Jack Ripper," who starts the nuclear showdown with the Soviets, an entreaty by the US President(one of three roles well- if inexplicably played by Peter Sellers)of two men bickering that "You can't fight in here -- this is the War Room!", the opening scene of in-air refuelling, strongly suggestive of sexual intercourse, and everything in between. If you're keen, you'll note the often-subtle pokes at Americans and their various institutions, which British humor has been at for some time; they do quite well, thank you.

A classic for all times.

This is a film that every generation should see. My 11-year-old had not seen it and we made sure he watched with us. We had to explain some references, of course (like the "flouride" debate) but that was part of the experience. Unfortunately, the film is all too much like "the real world."

Great Gift

Although I don't particularly like this movie, my husband loves it and falls asleep to it on a regular basis. It made a great gift and I'm glad he's happy with it. Perfect condition and has brought many, many, many hours of joy to my hubby.

Don't like it ? Don't get it?

If it's not in your psyche to stop worrying and love the Bomb, at least for about 90 minutes while your watching the film, then move on, there's nothing to see here.
