I just saw Dr. Strangelove for the first time a few hours ago. Enjoyed it a lot. And I’m only 18. I don’t think there’s much of a generational gap, just students who don’t understand the context of America when the film was released.

That’s odd. I have the 2001 “Special Edition” DVD and it has a few stills.

For those of you who have not seen it here is what happens:
The Russian ambassador tosses a pie at a general, only to have it strike President Muffley instead
General Turgidson shouts, “The president has been struck down, in the prime of his life and his presidency. I say massive retaliation!” (After JFK’s assassination, this line is another reason why the scene was cut.)
A huge pie fight breaks out.
In the aftermath of the battle the US president and the Russian ambassador have suffered mental breakdowns and are making castles out of the pie on the ground
General Turgidson announce “Well, boys, it looks like the future of this great land of ours is going to be in the hands of people like Dr. Strangelove here.”
And with the prospect of Strangelove leading us into the future, Vera Lynn’s begins singing in the background… **
