My all time favorite movie. First time I watched it i was floored. And the technical aspects are also cool. I read somewhere that the details were so spot on that military had investigated Kubrick if stealing defence secrets
Might just be the greatest movie of all time, certainly my favourite too. I read recently that it was kind of the "Big Lebowski" of it's generation, with tons of quotable quotes, eg "You're gonna have to answer to the coco-cola company"
You are right. I personally enjoyed the quote "No fighting in the war room".
Nothing beats "Mein fuhrer, I can walk!"
Major Bat Guano
Wasn't that his nickname ? Perhaps his given name was Bartholomew.
You reminded me of "One, Two, Three" another awesome Cold War farce (that I recommend).
TBH I find Big Lebowski bit overrated compared to the other greats. It's a nice movie, no doubt, but not in the same league as Strangelove or Goodfellas or Godfather.
I believe it was due to the interior of the B-52. Very similar to the real thing if you look at photos now.
The military secrets thing is at 10:46 of the video in case you’re interested. Not much details but I still found it interesting.
