Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb

If you're a Kubrick fan, you've probably already seen this. If you're not a Kubrick fan, then this is a good accessable movie to start with. It's quite odd as a whole, but there's still something charming about it. the only thing that ticked me off was that three times while we were watching it I was asked the exact same thing: Is the whole movie in black and white? Yes. When was it made? 60's. So it's black and white on purpose? Yes. Oh.
If you're looking for a rip-roaring comedy that leaves you sore from laughter, this is not it. this is a subtle movie, a dark comedy that plays off of little references and satires about how and why we do things the way we do. Watch it while you're awake and can pick up all the little nuances and you'll have a great time.
