love it, kubrick's masterpiece, imo. but i don't have the dvd
don't know if i have a favorite quote.. my favorite scene is probably the discussion between ripper and mandrake about 'purity of essence' and fluoridation of water.
now i'm here, and history is vindicated.

Ok hows this from memory...

and the classic...
'Gentlemen, Gentlemen you cant fight in here!!!!....this is the war room'
There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

Great flick. I just bought Kubrick's Paths of Glory, which is an excellent (and devastating) film as well. I also have 2001: A Space Odessy, which I bought but didn't watch for six months until I bought my new TV.
There was a box set of Kubrick's movies that I saw in the store, but I didn't have the $150 to blow and it included Eyes Wide Shut which was awful. I'll just buy them one at a a time.
Spartacus. Full Metal Jacket. Barry Lyndon. Clockwork Orange.
Can't wait.

Kubrik rules. And Strangelove rocks so hard it's not even real.
The big sign "S.A.C. - Peace is our profession" in the background of the soldiers assaulting the base has to be one of my favorite images ever. Probably tells something about my sense of humor.
The scene with the phone and the Coca-Cola vending machine was pretty brilliant too - "You'll be dealing with the Coca-Cola Company!" - as was the bomber crew's "gearing up" for their mission.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Ah. Great choice BP. So many absolutely hilarious quotes and scenes in that one.
Re: Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb; any fans?
LMAO, EWS is my favorite movie of all time. Watch it again and again and you'll like it. It takes time. The onyl I'm not interested in is Lolita. That movie's concept makes me sick.Originally Posted by Beirut
Paths of Glory is great too(and cheap). I know only have 5 Kubrick films. I need Barry Lyndon though.
Re: Dr. Strangelove or: how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb; any fans?
It is a legend of a movie. As a great Fallout fan, I have made some good connections between the two. I enjoyed it very much, and I'm currently scanning for the DVD.
The finest scene? That cowboy pilot captain, riding on the nuke as it fell down. I had a Fallout wallpaper with the exact theme, and remember Homer Simpson pulling off something similar.
