Dr. Strangelove (Blu-ray)

Probably Stanley Kubrick's most purely enjoyable film, this is a delicious black comedy about nuclear holocaust. Tricky subject to pull off, but Kubrick's matter-of-fact presentation of an entirely plausible escalation of ordinary events to extraordinary levels works a treat. Of course, it helps enormously having some great actors doing great stuff too.

Dr Strangelove (1964) is a classic dark comedy from legendary director Stanley Kubrick (The Shining). Peter Sellers stars in multiple roles supported by George C Scott, James Earl Jones and Slim Pickens.

Sellers is brilliant in this movie. His comic talent was perfect for the multiple roles. Scott does an early Patton performance and has some great lines while Pickens nearly steals the entire movie with his terrific over-the-top performance.

Kubrick also shines with his razor sharp script and iconic visuals. Just look at how many other movies and TV shows have been inspired by Kubricks war room.

Dr Strangelove is a classic comedy full of sharp wit and comedy characters. Some of the effects have dated but its a movie which somehow becomes more relevant with each passing year. A true work of genius.

Most boring movie I have ever seen.
How can someone find this funny?

Avoid!

I love this movie; the cinematography, the cast, the acting.. Almost every frame could be frame and hung on the wall.

This blu-ray version is according to hidefdigest impressive, which in Kubrick's case means pretty grainy :-)
