In Reply to: Is "Dr. Strangelove" Kubrick's masterpiece?? posted by Mike K on August 22, 2009 at 13:50:44:
Kirk Douglas moving across 'no man's land' is jaw-dropping cinema and alone worth the price of admission, particularly for the time, and the entire film is beautifully rendered to it's rightful conclusion. But my number two is 'Dr. Strangelove', with it's delicate balance of satire-not-becoming-farce. Plus, anyone who could use the B-level talent of Sterling Hayden to huge success in (two) strong films is guaranteed genius status.
Number 3? 'Lolita'.
