| Pros |
Hilarious. |
| Cons |
One must be familiar with the rudiments of the Cold War. |
| Bottom Line |
This is a film everyone, and especially red-white-and blue patriots, should see. |

| Pros |
Sellers, Scott, Kubrick, great story, fun |
| Cons |
Nothing |
| Bottom Line |
Strangelove is a great feat that's one of Kubrick's best films and one of his most commercialized. If you haven't seen it already, be like the Fonze, and DO IT. |
