September 4, 2009This has to be one of the funniest films of all time. Beautifully lit, brilliantly written and hilariously portrayed. The performances from Sellers, Pickens and C. Scott are particularly good. It's a comedy masterpiece!

April 10, 2009Civil Defense drills were ridiculous when you think about it. A 100 megaton bombs impact is not going to be stopped by your school desk or even the basement of the local hospital.

May 13, 2008I hate every Stanley Kubrick movie ever made- EXCEPT THIS ONE. At LEAST the narrative structure makes SENSE... (don't even get me started on the acid-trip ending to 2001)

May 27, 2007A masterpiece of satire, paranoia and straight comedy. One of the all-time classics with a great cast and many memorable moments. Sellers is magnificent.

Kubrick's great 1964 tragicomedy about superpowers on the nuclear brink continues to fascinate new generations of moviegoers, as its frequent reissues attest.

An absolutely hilarious and brilliant satire in which Kubrick's assured and precise direction serves, for once, to make an incredibly entertaing film as well as a smart one.
