First time viewer..I wanted to see what all the hype was about. I thought this was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. For the life of me I can’t figure out why this has a 99% rotten tomatoes rating.
Not Kubrick's best

Although this does tell a good story and delivers a powerful message, it still doesn't compare to his masterpieces. A comedic, yet tragic story blended together in a entertaining way. This film explores the horrors of nuclear power and the outcomes of it. This film delves deep into trust and fear that these men have. If I would tell you which Kubrick films you should see, this would be number 5 for me. Behind: Shining, A space odyssey, a clockwork orange, and Spartacus.
My favorite film ever.

Although the film starts with a serious tone and is actually quite tense, it turns quickly into a satirical look at war and human nature. If you like dark comedy (or intellectual comedy) youll love this. If you like tense thrillers youll like it. If you like film them youll love it. Its a great GREAT film.

I know how some people say this movie isn't for this new generation. I think it is wrong, some Cold War geeks (Like me), from this new generation will absolutely love this movie. Just saying... I'm 14 and this ranks #1 for me. Thank you Kubrick, you are one good director.

"…Children's ice cream?" This is Kubrick's other film on the required viewing list.
One of the Greatest Movies Ever

This movie is one of my all time favorites. Peter Sellers is wonderful in three roles, George C Scott makes a great General and Slim Pickens is clearly a scene stealer as a bomber pilot. Sterling Hayden is just plain creepy but makes a great villain. He encapsulates all of the Cold War paranoia of the time. Clearly a movie of its time (height of the Cold War) but still should appeal to today’s audiences. One of the surprises in casting is the navigator for the B-52 piloted by Pickens…a very recognizable voice. ;-)
