Default Dr. Strangelove

I just finished watching it yesterday. I recorded it off one of HDNET or a similar channel.

Hilarious. And still relevant to our time.

If somehow, like me, you have missed this movie, check it out.

Peter Sellers, Slim Pickens, George C. Scott.

Dr. Strangelove is one of my all time favorites. Funny and well done.

I watched it for the first time about six months ago. It's a great movie.

One of the best comedies out there.

You are shocking me today with these admissions.

Dr Strangelove is required viewing for everyone. I would have assumed you had seen it ages ago.

As a self-professed Peter Sellers addict, I heartily endorse the genius in that movie.

Please do not tell me that you have never seen "Being There."

Oddly enough, I just read Being There last night. I prefer the movie.

"Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks." Equating the incineration of 20 Million citizens with having one's hair mussed has given me countless laughs over the years.

An effective and very enjoyable timewaster for me is reviewing the "memorable quotes" section of IMDB's movie summaries. The Dr. Strangelove collection is an especially satisfying read. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0057012/quotes
