Dr. Strangelove
or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

This was the latest film from our "Ebert's four-star movie list". I was expecting it to be much more abstract, but it was actually fairly easy to watch and even amusing at times. We also didn't realize that Peter Sellers was in it - playing three different characters. No matter what the film, he's always fascinating to watch.
George C. Scott gave a suprisingly good comedic performance. James Earl Jones has a bit part in it. I also didn't realize Slim Pickens was who he was - guy from Blazing Saddles - he has pretty big role in it.
All in all, we don't agree that it was one of the best movie of all time. But it was pretty enjoyable for a movie from the 60's.

As to being a four star film, you must at least consider that it came out during the cold war, with things like the Cuban missle crisis, etc. going on. Instead of flag waving, it focused more on the insanity of the nuclear weapons race.
You didn't know Peter Sellers and Slim Pickens were in that? Where have you been hiding? Under a rock?
What can I say...I never read the back of the box before I watched it. I did know Slim Pickens was in it, I just didn't realize I knew who he was.
