- dano 3y agoMy favorite bit of irony.
- mynameisash 3y agoMy teenage kids regularly quote that line. Along with Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Strangelove is one of their (and my) favorite old movies. For anyone that hasn't seen it, it really is a fantastic dark comedy.
- alexb_ 3y agoI think about the Soviets gaining control of our "precious bodily fluids" all the time. One of the best comedies ever made. I also remember hearing that Kurbrick very intentionally put in a ton of sexual metaphors throughout the entire movie - a lot of the scenes and lines (especially the opening one refueling the bomber) change when you view it from that perspective!

- quickthrowman 3y agoDon’t forget character names. -President Merkin Muffley; a merkin is a pubic wig, and muff is a synonym for pubic hair. -General Buck Turgidson; Buck is a name for a male deer/horned animal, and turgid means ‘erect’. -Russian Ambassador Alexei de Sadeski; de Sadeski is referencing the Marquis de Sade.
- tharmas 3y agoIts one of the best movies of all time. That bomb ride is ICONIC!
