Each not only showed an amazing command of various accents, English, American and German in that order; but highlighted just exactly why Seller's was one of the greate... read more

Not having grown up in the black & white era, I can't say I'm normally a fan of old classics, yet this movie compelled me. It's one of the most satirical black comedy I've ever seen, dealing with a topic that was very sensitive to people at the time; Nuclear War with the USSR.

It centres around a US General that has lost his sanity and single-handedly issues a code to all the B-... read more

When I first saw this film 2 years ago, I saw it, I thought about it for a second, and I thought it was good, but I didn't understand why it was so universally loved. Really high on IMDB's Top 250 list, has a near perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, put high on a few of AFI's lists, and at the top of many people's and critic's all time favorite films. So I got to thinking, why was it so well loved?<... read more

" There's a scene with George C. Scott in the war room. He gets upset and he starts running over to these guys to make a point. And he falls down. And he like rolls over, head over heels. And then he gets on one knee and says something. It's a really weird moment. If you freeze, you see everybody start to laugh. Like he fell down during a take, but he said his line anyway. And then everybody burst out laughing. There's one frame of him breaking character, 'cause they wanted every second they had"
