This movie has it all-the brilliance of Stanley Kubrick combined with the superb acting of Peter Sellers and George C. Scott. It is incredibly funny. Even though it is dated, its themes translate into our time. The only problem I have is that the ...disc does not include anything from the infamous cream pie alternate ending. Read more Less

I watch this movie during the cool war. Now I see us doing this all over again. I can just see the prez and company doing the same thing today.

THE quintessential comedy(?) for every collection. Peter Sellers best film ever. And THAT's saying something! If you haven't seen it, see it. If you haven't bought , buy it!

A hilarious classic

Pros: Funny, great acting, has a message

Cons: none

This is a great movie. It is a dark comedy about the whole idea of mutually assured destruction and the whole idea of nuclear weapons. This movie was created when the Cold War between Russia and America was at it's height so it's no wonder th...e commentary is strong. Even though this movie is old, it still has relevance today. Although it is hilarious, it has a message. The film is in black and white, which most viewers today hate, but you really don't notice it too much and it fits with the whole theme of the movie. It wouldn't be as good if it was in color. I highly recommend this movie to everyone! Read more Less

Greatest Anti-War Movie Ever

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 1, 2006

Pros: Dark, Hilarious, Intellectual

Cons: 1960's special effects

"It is the stated position of the US Air Force that their safeguards would prevent the occurance of such events as are depicted in this film." So opens one of the greatest films ever made. Stanley Kubrick's dark, hilarious look at nucle...ar war; this is a timeless classic with crazy characters, geat lines, wacky logic, political satire, and dark beauty. While it is visually outdated, the story told is as poignant today as when released following the Cuban Missile Crisis. Look for it in infrequent theater showings (Laurelhurst) and hum along with the crowd. Read more Less

Love The Bomb? - NEVER

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Nov 7, 2003

Pros: Almost believable Conversations.

Cons: Rated as a comedy to avoid upseting powers.

For those of us slightly wrinklies who were teenagers in the 60's this was the ultimate disaster movie of the decade.All these years later it is still the masterpiece it was on release then and clearly appeals to newer generations of political sc...eptics.Long may it twitch the conciences of those who wage war for their own ends, whilst giving everyone else a great laugh.

THE BEST OF THE BEST

By Yahoo! Shopping User  Sep 23, 2003

Pros: Comical and somewhat accurate satire of the arms race.

Cons: It takes a little time to develop and lacks some kind of plot.

Other than the few and minute "cons" that I have written, this movie is one of the best fo the best movies ever made because it is just SO FUNNY!!
