Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello!....Not now, but any time, Dmitri.... I'm just calling up to tell you something terrible has happened.

Gentleman, you can’t fight in here. This is the war room.

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous communist plot we have ever had to face.

Heard a factoid earlier that I didn't know. Sellers was originally going to play Maj. Kong, too.

posthumous promotion

Short and Miller discussing Dr. Strangelove and then immediately transitioning to "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein" as equal pieces of art is surreal.

Don't get me wrong, I love A&C, but still...

Miller is an unusually bad pick by TCM. I hope he's one month only.

We studied Dr Strangelove in Philosophy while covering ethics. Basically showing how the rituals of the flight crew shielded them from any ethical dilemma of dropping nukes on people.

I got three actors for the price of six.

Random trivia - but the actual line was Dallas.  They dubbed in Vegas after Kennedy was shot.

yep, was gonna post this

without a doubt one of the best movies ever made. layers of hilarity and sarcasm. Peter Sellers allowed to show his breakaway speed in so many ways. Just unreal how good this was.

Favorite trivia goes something like: British crew members saw Pickens always jeans and cowboy boots and believed Kubrick had told him he must stay in character.

My favorite old/black and white movie. This scene might not be my favorite, but i love the camera angle of Ripper as he's completely lost it.

There are worse choices one could make.

More trivia. Actor playing Russian ambassador cracks a smile when Strangelove(Merkwürdigliebe) is fighting with his hand.

George C. Scott as Gen. "Buck" Turgidson was a genius stroke of against-type casting, and he played it perfectly.

His description of a B-52 flying under radar was glorious. Frying chickens in the barnyard! Has he got a chance?

 

Watched this for the first time the other night. I thought it was hilarious.

The absolute absurdity of the Cold War - flayed open for all to see and to laugh at.

Of course... the whole point of a Doomsday device is lost... if you KEEP IT A SECRET WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL THE WORLD?!

I didn't get the mine gap debate.  Don't they have about 15 minutes to get underground? 

I was also confused by Slim Pickens riding the nuclear missile/bomb as it dropped from his bomber.  That seems implausible.

I do not avoid women, Mandrake, but I do deny them my essence.

You saying Slim couldn't hang on for 8 seconds?
