Most people gave this movie a five star rating. I saw this film as a kid, growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, and it was the reason I decided then that I wanted to join the Air Force when I grew up. I served some time with a Titan II wing at Little Rock AFB, AR, as an enlisted man, and after getting commissioned, attending navigator and electronic warfare officer school, became a crew member on B-52Gs -- the same type as those in the film -- at Barksdale AFB, LA. The romance between Mary Peach and Rock Hudson is a bit hokey, but the aerial work by Paul Mantz and the minimum interval takeoff launch of B-52s during the ORI is GREAT. This film is extremely accurate, both for the missileers and the fly guys. It captures very well the look, the spirit, and the procedures of the real SAC. Kinda makes you nostalgic for those old 1505s (khaki uniforms), too! Dick Cole, Major, USAF (Ret.), former B-52G instructor electronic warfare officer.

Dr. Strangelove is a perfect spoof of political and military insanity, beginning when General Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden), a maniacal warrior obsessed with "the purity of precious bodily fluids," mounts his singular campaign against Communism by ordering a squadron of B-52 bombers to attack the Soviet Union. The Soviets counter the threat with a so- called "Doomsday Device," and the world hangs in the balance while the U.S. president (Peter Sellers) engages in hilarious hot-line negotiations with his Soviet counterpart. Sellers also plays a British military attaché and the mad bomb-maker Dr. Strangelove; George C. Scott is outrageously frantic as General Buck Turgidson, whose presidential advice consists mainly of panic and statistics about "acceptable losses." With dialogue ("You can't fight here! This is the war room!") and images (Slim Pickens's character riding the bomb to oblivion) that have become a part of our cultural vocabulary, Kubrick's film regularly appears on critics' lists of the all-time best. Fail-safe (Special Edition) U.S. Plane loaded with hydrogen bombs is flying toward Moscow and because of technical difficulties is impossible to recall. A gripping narrative realistically and almost frighteningly told. Special features: subtitles in English French Spanish Portuguese Chinese Korean and Thai and much more.
