I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

#39 Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

1964
Director: Stanely Kubrick
Starring: Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden

One commander in the US Military is convinced that the Soviets are using the nations water supply to poison the American people and orders a bombing without authority.  He is the only one who knows the code to recall the bombers and has locked himself inside his office.  In the war room, top officials meet on how to solve this problem.  Peter Sellers plays 3 different roles, including Dr, Strangelove.  Completely indifferent to this movie. Didn't love it, didn't hate it.

Trivia: Peter Sellers improvised most of his lines and this was James Earl Jones' screen debut.


Up Next: The Treasure of the Sierra Madre
