Dr. Strangelove

[red-beard]

It's on right now. I have always loved this movie. I think it is still my favorite!

[BE911SC]

My favorite scene is the opening credits with the B-52 struggling to stay on the boom and the song is "Try a little tenderness." I used to fly the KC-135 (2,000 hours worth, both seats) and would sometimes whistle that when hand-flying during refueling.

I love the survival kit check list.

I also love when Gen Ripper yells at Group Captain Mandrake:

"Hurry up! The Redcoats are coming!"

[dafischer]

Classic Stanley Kubrick, and one of my favorite movies of all time. Keenan Wynn (Col. Bat Guano) and Peter Sellers (Capt Lionel Mandrake) at the Coke machine looking for change for the pay phone is a great scene.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel... that Coca-Cola machine. I want you to shoot the lock off it. There may be some change in there.

Colonel "Bat" Guano: That's private property.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: Colonel! Can you possibly imagine what is going to happen to you, your frame, outlook, way of life, and everything, when they learn that you have obstructed a telephone call to the President of the United States? Can you imagine? Shoot it off! Shoot! With a gun! That's what the bullets are for, you twit!

Colonel "Bat" Guano: Okay. I'm gonna get your money for ya. But if you don't get the President of the United States on that phone, you know what's gonna happen to you?

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: What?

Colonel "Bat" Guano: You're gonna have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.

Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: [trying to pay for his phone call] Just one second, operator.

[to Guano]
Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake: They won't accept the call. Have you got 55 cents?

Colonel "Bat" Guano: What, you don't think I'd go into combat with loose change in my pocket, do you?

Even my wife doesn't mind seeing again, now and then.

Gentlemen! You cant fight in here, this is the War Room!

[Baz]

Watching it right now......CNN right?

[tchanson]

Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed. But I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops. Uh, depending on the breaks.

Most of the cast of characters can be found posting regularly in PARF. Generals Buck Turgison and Jack D Ripper are particularly prodigous.

And if you watch Slim Pickens' lips as he says, "A fella' could have a good time in Vegas with all this stuff" you'll notice his lips say "Dallas." Kennedy had been killed during filming and they decided to over-dub "Vegas" in place of "Dallas."

What about the Doctor himself ? Great movie...none like it, before or since.

[Jim Richards]

Great movie, too bad I missed it.

[Tobra]

What a great flick, everything about it.

Hmm, look at who tries to change the subject. Maybe it really is a mental disorder.

[azasadny]

One of my all-time favorites!!

[mjohnson]

Required viewing before any of us visits STRATCOM or Global Strike/AFGSC.

You gotta get into the DoD's mindset...

(shocked at how few of my peers have seen this - we do lunch-screenings twice a year)

I need to replenish my precious bodily fluids.
