DR. STRANGELOVE: FIRST 10 MINUTES OF THE FILM

Nominated for four Academy Awards® including Best Picture (1964), Stanley Kubrick’s black comedy about a group of paranoia-inspired, war-happy generals who manage to initiate an “accidental” nuclear apocalypse, is horribly frightening, delightfully funny and surprisingly relevant to this day. This is the saga of two psychotic generals: Joint Chief of Staff “Buck” Turgidson (George C. Scott) and Air Force Strategic Commander Jack Ripper (Sterling Hayden), who orders a bomber squadron to attack the USSR, triggering a Soviet secret weapon, the “Doomsday Machine”, a diabolical retaliatory missile system. Peter Sellers portrays a trio of men who attempt to avert this catastrophe: British Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to paranoid Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Muffley, whose best attempt at diverting this disaster depends on convincing a boozed-up Soviet Premier it’s all a silly mistake; and the President’s advisor, Dr. Strangelove, a demented ex-Nazi scientist. Can any one of them possibly save the world?

When I first saw this as a teenager I liked it. It wasn’t until I was older that I recognized it as one of the best films ever made.

[walterfechter]

I remember seeing this movie when it premiered in 1964. This movie has never left me. Kubrick knocked it out of the park with this one.

The sexual innuendo of the tanker giving fluids to the bomber while romantic music plays with a melody change at separation is comedic genius. How I came to love the bomb.

[nickpaine]

The best dark comedy ever filmed. I heard Slim Pickens was never informed by Kubrick that it was a comedy, in order that he play his character as drama. How brilliant was that!?

[kailuakidd]

Peter Sellers is the greatest actor I have ever seen. No actor invested as much into his roles as he did. A genius.

My father in law was in the Air Force and he thought this was a serious movie for about 30 minutes, and then said, "Hey, wait a minute..."He also thought the interior shots of the B-52 were actually made in the roomier KC-135 tanker. Much of the air footage was shot after flying over Greenland. There is an excellent youtube video on how the movie was made.

This movie done in 64. They probably had no idea that these same bombers would still be in use 57 years later.

“Is it that bad sir?”….”looks like it’s pretty hairy” is one of the greatest line deliveries of all time

[gregh]

"Well boys, looks like this is it. Nucler combat toe to toe with the Rooskies".

[dylanarthur]

Peter Sellers was a genius in this movie.

When Nixon bombed Cambodia the day after he saw "Patton" at a private White House screening, my mom sent him a telegram saying he should've watched "Dr Strangelove" instead.

[vernonsmithee]

Gentleman, there's no fighting in here!, This is the War Room!!

[weirdshibainu]

Cracks me up when Pickens says he told them about "horsin' around" which alludes to the fact they the crew probably did occasionally report fake attacks to breakup the boredom.

[ebeegeebeefofeebee]

Think of this. The B52 is one of few actors from this film that's still alive.

[nineofive.]

One of the greatest works of art ever made.

[fredsimmons]

One of my top ten favorite movies of all time.

[erickamakeeaina]

The thing with this movie is that it avoids actually being very Over the Top like many Satires, and in many aspects, it's a bit more 'Grounded' Then other Comedies.
I think it helps the Edge, as it mostly matches the level of Absurdity in the real world. Which I think was the intention, Kubrick initially wanted the film to be more of a Drama, but seeing just how Absurd the whole situation was, he couldn't help but laugh at it all

[tarSailor]

"Oh hell". The standard British reaction to a war

I first saw this film in college. Everyone laughed -- except for those of us studying history and/or political science. There is a lot of truth in this film.

Peter Sellers, in addition to playing Mandrake, the President, and the title character, was to play Maj. Kong. But those scenes were to be filmed last, and Sellers was too exhausted. So they brought in Slim Pickens, telling him this was a dramatic film.

It actually was intended to be a dramatic thriller, only Kubrick saw the novel did not work as a movie. So he made it a comedy.

This is James Earl Jones' film debut.

[atticusmcfly]

The funniest film of all time. I don't allow a debate on this in my household.
