I’m totally in love with this movie - and always have been - so perhaps it’s time to take comfort in the fact that we’re all playing minor roles in Kubrick’s classic.
What’s your favourite scene? Mine is the one below - precious bodily fluid!
I like “You can’t fight in here, this is the war room!”
And “Living underground” / Arm Hitler Salute…
“Hello Dimetri? Yes, um, could you turn the music down a little? I have something to tell you…”
And the trailer is just brilliant, I’d never seen it until a little while ago, but it’s a total hoot.
Shortly followed by one of my favorites: “Of course it’s a friendly call. … Listen, if it wasn’t friendly … you probably wouldn’t have even got it.”
“He ordered his planes to… attack your country. (pause) Well let me finish, Dimetri.”
That whole scene may be the most darkly comical moment in movie history.
Umm, it was General Ripper that was concerned with his physical secretions…
“Of course I like to speak to you! Of course I like to say hello!”…such delicate, sensitive characters
Off to Cafe Society
A doomsday weapon doesn’t do any good if you don’t TELL anyone about it!
The premier was going to make an announcement at next months UN council meeting!
Or something like that.
“Shoot, a fella could have a pretty good weekend in [del]Dallas[/del] Vegas with all that stuff.”
Had to change that word because of the release date.
I also like the fact that it was before Failsafe, so the serious movie came pre-parodied.
Quite right. I stand corrected.
He meant business, didn’t he? - I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
“You’ll have to answer to the Coca-Cola company.”
“The strange thing is they make such bloody good cameras.”
“Mein Fuhrer, I can walk!”
“Now you listen to me, Colonel Bat Guano, if that is your real name!”
2nd-ed.
So many good wuotes, though.
The documentary of how the movie was made is a very good one:
The Making of "Dr. Strangelove"One very interesting bit is that the classic scene of Mayor Kong with the nuclear bomb was not planned until the last moment. So the bomb bay of the B52 was not designed to open on its own. The classic scene was saved by an optical effect that made the bomb bay open.
I think that I read about the production team or Kubrick saying that when Peter Sellers had an accident and could not play the part of Mayor Kong that they should get a real cowboy, so someone said: “Have you seen the actor choices we have? Its Slim Pickens”…
Are you shitting me? 
You damn guys are gonna make me watch this movie yet one more time…wasting even more of my precious bodily hours on this earthly plane.
I think you’re some kind of deviated prevert. I think general Ripper found out about your preversion, and that you were organizing some kind of mutiny of preverts.
“I’m a-gonna git those bomb doors open, even if it hare-lips everbody on Bear Creek!”
Hey, that kinda stuff aimed at me is better placed in the pit!
Just saying.
