How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. Excellent film! :cheese: The question was and still is today being kicked around. What if the USA sent a nuke to Russia? What if the Iran sent a nuke to the USA? The movie is precisely that only with comedy that is really good. Ironically some of the comedy is true due to rednecks in office and people getting laid by prostitutes as of recent times. It's a B&W film made in 1964 with superb actors and the camera work and just everything is phenomenal.

I highly advise you to watch the film! *Ah try and figure out which actor plays 4 roles. James Earl Jones is also in the film.

If the pilot's good, see. I mean, if he's really... sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low, you oughtta see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane, like a '52, vroom! There's jet exhaust, flyin' chickens in the barnyard!

I watched this movie in one of my History classes in High School...my god, it was an AWESOME movie. I wish I could get my hands on it again.

One of the best movies ever. And I'm not one to say that just because of its prestige (ex. I don't get the big deal with Citizen Kane). It's just brilliant and hilarious to this day.

 

[Steven]

No fighting in the war room!

I got to ride one of the original atomic bombs at the Nuclear museum in Tennesse (no uranium inside though).

 

[The Monkey]

One of Kubrick's best.

It really shows how thorough they had researched their subject, from the
design of the cockpit to the how some of the characters act. It's one of
those movies that really doesn't feel like a move as much as a documentary
in some respects. And if it weren't for the clever satire you could probably
fool a lot of people.

It also a very rich movie, that can be watched numerous times, and every
time you'll be surprised by something because you forgot it, since there are
so many good moments to remember. And finally it's really good at
motivating you and providing the necessary information for you to think
about the subject, it's sort of empowering. It's not a movie that you just
forget, it's one that you think the rest of the day about, and talk to your
friends about.

I loved this movie, wish I could find a place that isn't online that actually has it.

 

[Bad^Hat]

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!

This, that, and the other.

Loved this movie, and honestly it's hard for me to get interested in any movie this old that doesn't include samurai, so that's saying something.

The combo bible/phrase book is about the size of your thumb.
