Dr Strangelove

After years of planning to watch this movie, tonight I finally caught it on TCM and I have to say I thought it was excellent. Kubrick is one of those popular directors that I saw very little of so I didn't have much of an opinion. I mean I saw Spartacus which I liked well enough, although I can't say it is a favorite of mine. Then I saw Eyes Wide ( Read more... )

classic film

My boss quotes this movie constantly. XD I've been thinking about watching it again recently because of that.

Oh yeah I thought George C. Scott was great as well. I read that he was unhappy that Kubrick used the more over the top shots of his performance (apparently he did some more subdued ones but Kubrick went for the ones we got in the movie). But I thought his performance was fantastic. I also liked the guy who played Ripper and the Russian Ambassador. :D

I think 2001 is the next film I want to eventually watch of his as it sounds like something I would like. I am not sure about his other movies though.

But I definitely recommend Dr Strangelove, especially if you like black comedy. :)
