★★★★ Dr. Strangelove

[Gino: 4.0 sp]

Gino says: '(Or "How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) Couldn't sleep or concentrate on other things one night and watched this on netflix streaming. Wow, don't I give 5 stars to anything any more? Probably if this were the first viewing, I would have given it even higher praise, but there is a LOT of screentime given to the bad special effects of the exterior shots of the bomber. And it does (sort of) have one of those 1960's endings that I don't like much.

But, the rest of the time, you have these great sets like the war room, a great bitingly satirical script, and the likes of George C. Scott hamming it up and Peter Sellers playing three marvelously funny characters. I hope he was paid three times.'
