a movie which rocked my pants

I watched a lot of movies this Summer, but one movie was really amazing. Like I said before, it rocked my pants and made me laugh. This movie was directed by Stainley Kubrick in 1964 and it's called "Doctor Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb".

It's a must-see movie with gripping plot, interesting and eccentric characters, etc. After seeing this this movie I thought that it's probably the best ever made movie. It's not fair that such an amazing movie didn't win much awards...





If you're interested, here's a little bit about the movie:
"U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely and utterly mad, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He suspects that the communists are conspiring to pollute the "precious bodily fluids" of the American people. The U.S. president meets with his advisors, where the Soviet ambassador tells him that if the U.S.S.R. is hit by nuclear weapons, it will trigger a "Doomsday Machine" which will destroy all plant and animal life on Earth. Peter Sellers portrays the three men who might avert this tragedy: British Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to the demented Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Merkin Muffley, whose best attempts to divert disaster depend on placating a drunken Soviet Premier and the former Nazi genius Dr. Strangelove, who concludes that "such a device would not be a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious". Will the bombers be stopped in time, or will General Jack Ripper succeed in destroying the world?" (a quote from imdb.com)


...and there's the trailer:





OK, another interesting thing is.... that one Muse videoclip called "Time is Running out" have a lot of similarities with the "war room" from the film. Also, the lyrics from the song's chorus fits the movie perfectly.


"Our time is running out
Our time is running out
You can't push it underground
You can't stop it screaming out..."
