A Kubrick classic, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is a dark satire for our strange, ridiculous times. Peter Sellers stars in multiple roles including the titular Dr Strangelove, a former Nazi and nuclear war expert whose gloved hand has a mind of its own. The plot-line is multi-faceted but the main gist is this: a rogue USA Air Force general orders a nuclear attack on the Soviet Union to the alarm of everyone around him—including the President, his advisors, the Joint Chiefs of Staff and an RAF officer —who all take to the War Room to try and recall the bombs and prevent an apocalypse.

"Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the War Room." Nominated for 4 Academy Awards and listed at No. 3 on the American Film Institute’s definitive “100 Years… 100 Laughs” list, Dr. Strangelove is a treasure trove for film trivia types. Peter Sellers played three characters at the demand of Columbia Pictures who felt that the popularity of Lolita, Kubrick's previous film with Sellers, hinged largely on his multiple performances in the film. The never-shy Kubrick later called this "crass and grotesque" but fortunately complied and got along famously well with Sellers. The film's set design was by Ken Adams, who had previously created the New Age look of several James Bond films, and the eternally quotable screenplay lives on in comedic infamy.
