- Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, known simply and more commonly as Dr. Strangelove, is a 1964 satirical political war black comedy film directed, co-written, and produced by Stanley Kubrick and starring Peter Sellers in three roles, including the title character. The film also stars George C. Scott with Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens, and Tracy Reed. The film, which satirizes the Cold War fears of a nuclear conflict between the Soviet Union and the United States, is loosely based on the thriller novel Red Alert (1958) by Peter George, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Kubrick and Terry Southern.
The story concerns an unhinged United States Air Force general who orders a pre-emptive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. It separately follows the President of the United States, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and a Royal Air Force exchange officer as they attempt to prevent the crew of a B-52 (who were following orders from the general) from bombing the Soviet Union and starting a nuclear war.
The film is often considered one of the best comedies ever made, as well as one of the greatest films of all time. In 1998, the American Film Institute ranked it twenty-sixth in its list of the best American movies (in the 2007 edition, the film ranked thirty-ninth), and in 2000, it was listed as number three on its list of the funniest American films. In 1989, the United States Library of Congress included Dr. Strangelove as one of the first 25 films selected for preservation in the National Film Registry for being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

I get the feeling that one of you doesn’t realize that this is a comedy.
Peter Sellers played Mandrake, the President and Dr Stranglove.
Man you guys NAILED it very early on: it's about a bunch of sexually frustrated men taking it out on the planet! 🤣 Even the opening credits is basically a "love scene" of two airplanes f**king while the song "Try A Little Tenderness" plays!!!! That's the opening credit music, "Try A Little Tenderness"! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😆😆😆 Just found your channel, totally subscribing! Hey, I hope you hit Kubrick's greatest war movie: "Paths Of Glory". Holy f**k, that is no joke. Literally, a real grim movie, but a total masterpiece. And only an hour and a half! :D
We might watch Paths of Glory on the channel someday, we haven't made a real decision on it yet. Nick saw it before and completely agrees with you while Tyrell has not yet seen it at all, so it's a possibility. Thanks for commenting and subscribing, the detail of the love song during the "refueling" sequence is hilarious lmao
Welp Tyrell is def down to see it
We’re also considering watching Lolita as well
The only reason Kubrick didn't go with the pie fight ending is because JFK was assassinated between the end of filming and the release of the movie. They changed the ending because they were worried the pie fight scene would seem distasteful given the mood of the country.
I've seen stills from the deleted scene; it's reasonable therefore to deduce that the footage is still out there...somewhere... 😎
@@goldenager59- I doubt it. It would have shown up a long time ago, if it was. Kubrick was known for ditching everything after a movie was finished. It was a problem when they made 2010, the sequel to 2001, because all sets, all models and all production design had been scrapped, so they had to recreate everything with only the movie itself to go from.
I know that The Shining is something of an exception, because Kubrick had a change of heart after copies had already been sent out. So copies of the original version survived.

It may well be so (and a great pity if it is, too), but I'll not give up hope anytime soon - after all, *Metropolis* was (mostly) restored eventually! ☺️
@@goldenager59 - Yes, but as with The Shining, that was because there had been a complete cut of the original version shown in theatres once. That's not the case here, as the pie fight was never actually put in the movie.
I've read up a little more, and it did not end up as Kubrick intended. It was supposed to show the rival branches of the military fighting each other, but in the end, it was just pies flying randomly, removing the satire from the scene and leaving just the slapstick. He didn't have the budget to clean it up and shooting again.
Another big loss is the original version of Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. The studio completely gutted it, and no original version survived. I hear that some enthusiasts are trying to recreate the missing scenes with animation.
The serious version of this is Fail Safe, made by Sidney Lumet and released later the same year.
Lumet also directed 'Network' (1976) which is an absolute work of genius on the same high level as Dr. Strangelove.
The Playboy Centerfold Model Major Kong is Eyeing is actully Miss Scott, General Turgidson's 'Secretary"!
and the real life daughter of Carol Reed, director of "The Third Man". ;)
@@TTM9691 Damn, Now I'm going to hear that Theme in my Head all Day!
*Except for General Ripper, everyone is doing what they should be doing in the situation.*
Who has the biggest bomb? WHO HAS THE BIGGEST BOMB? I HAVE THE BIGGEST BOMB !!!!
A disappointing reaction video TBH and the viewing/likes stats agree , the guy on the left looked bored throughout and didn't get any of the dark humour, the guy on the right understood more and had a good time. It's Kubrick!
EXACTLY. . .The guy on the left kept trying to make it a "real life" story. . .It's a SATIRE about a serious subject. . .But it's written as a dark, satirical comedy. Guy on the left is clueless and just wants to turn it into a serious story. The subject is serious but is treated in a humorous way. His diatribe about American arrogance shows he just doesn't get it.

James Earl Jones FIRST film!

"Not the CRM 114 ?"
Lolita is also full of comedy.
That's the one Kubrick movie that neither of us has watched before, so we didn't know that
Great movie. My fave James Mason performance, my fave Shelly Winters performance (wins the award for best performance by an actress in a Kubrick film.......which is not a long list, admittedly!) Peter Sellers is great in it, and of course, so is Sue Lyon.
"Clockwork Orange" has a lot of comedy and satire in it as well, definitely made by the same mind that gave us "Strangelove". I'd say "Clockwork Orange" is basically a comedy-satire, albeit a very dark one.
Make sure you put The Twilights Last Gleaming or its a different movie
Sexual frustration may lead to making movies about sexual frustration. Lol
