One of the greatest films ever made!
One of the greatest films ever made!
|Posted .Yes indeed one of the greatest films ever made. Kubrick at his very best. Peter Sellers in his most profound multi character roles. It's an All Star cast with Slim Pickens, Sterling Hayden, George C. Scott and more. Seller's best line of the film: "Mein Furher I can walk" as he rises from bhis wheel chair. When i first saw the film, in 1964 I needed to be carried out of the theater for laughing uncontrollably.

Gorgeous Steelbook
Gorgeous Steelbook
|Posted .I will assume that most people know about the movie (arguably the greatest black comedy of all time); so, I'll just stick to reviewing the steelbook. Dr. Strangelove was previously released on Blu-ray only in a digipak. That digipak is now out of print. So, thank God Best Buy decided to re-release the film on Blu-ray in a steelbook. The artwork on the steelbook fits the film perfectly, and this blu-ray has the same transfer and all of the features that the previous release had. Excellent release all-around!

Kubrick's Wit
Kubrick's Wit
|Posted .Kubrick has often been critiqued as a cold, cerebral filmmaker, one who emphasized his artistic and painterly skills rather than any intimate human moments. In some ways, he did. He wasn't a director who one would think of as imbuing his films with any comedic elements. But with "Dr. Strangelove," however, I personally feel that Kubrick let rip with some of the most hysterically funny situations and dialogue ever in an anti-war black comedy. Sure, the sets designed by the maestro Ken Adam are amazing and brilliant. Sure, the gorgeous black-and-white photography is a glory to behold. But it's the humor that could be found in what was a terribly uneasy, scary time -- the Cold War -- that was Kubrick's gift to discriminating cinemaphiles everywhere. It's a classic.

Peter Sellers Is Magnificent !!
Peter Sellers Is Magnificent !!
|Posted .Peter Sellers outdoes himself as he plays 3 roles.Also starting George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, & James Earl Jones. Produced & directed by Stanley Kubrick....can it get better ?? An entertaining & thought provoking film about what would happen if the wrong person pushed the button for the hydrogen bomb in a satirical situation. Peter Sellers is brilliant as he plays 3 different roles. It's been said that Dr. Strangelove has somehow lost it's appeal over the years....NO WAY !! It's as brilliant today as it's initial release time. It is full of lampoons and crazy warmongering machismo that never goes out of style. This film will have you wondering and laughing simultaneously. Truly a film that spans generations.

A grand comedic anti-war classic
A grand comedic anti-war classic
|Posted .The Blu-ray visual presentation of this fine film is a noticeable improvement over the DVD. The supplements are the same as the two disc collectors edition DVD. While the steel book has excellent exterior cover art, the interior is a bland gray. The recent steel book sale put this version at a much cheaper price point than the standard blu-ray release, so I couldn't pass up owning this!
