I used to call myself Col Batguano, I once had someone page me as Colonel Batguano and when I went to the phone, the lady at the hotel said I was young to be a Colonel and I smiled and said, "well, I'm a spy, soooo" and grabbed the phone.
Dr Strangelove is on TCM

It's the odd comments or line here and there that still crack me up decades after I saw it...
"You don't think I'd go into combat with loose change in my pocket, do you?"
"Dimitri, I'm sorry that they're jamming your radar and flying so low; but, they're trained to do it. You know, it's initiative!"
"Be careful, Mr. President, he sounds drunk."
"He changed it when he became a citizen. Used to be Merkwürdigliebe."...which is German for Strangelove.

Apparently Kubrick never told Slim Pickens that it was a comedy.
A young James Earl Jones as the B-52 navigator was perfect.
One of the four Kubrick films that are on my eight-or-ten-slot roulette wheel of favorite movies of all time.
Col Batguano? Rotflmaooooo
Hearing that name, you might think it's just a weird pronounciation...but reading it?

One of my all time favorites! I used to have a Strangelove shirt back in high school. I just Googled it and some site has the exact shirt from the 90s and is asking $855 for it. Man I wish I would have saved all my shirts from back in the day.
Anyway, I just watched this with my 12 year-old daughter and she loved it. I was kind of relieved.
The What Went Wrong podcast just did an episode on the film and it's chock full of interesting information -

I'm drawing a blank, what was Sellers' third role (Mandrake, Strangelove, and...)?

President Merkin Muffley....and ironically it's the only role in the film where he's not wearing his toupee.
Ranks up there with 'Kitty' Galore from "Goldfinger" for great movie character names from the 60s.

We watched it again a few weeks back. It never fails to entertain & impress!
Thanks for telling me to check it, but I watched the Devil and Daniel Webster on TCM instead .
Charlie Wilson’s War (funny)
Michael Clayton (great/so many perfect scenes)
I do need to see Strangelove again. It has been over 40 years and I know when I saw it… “Intro to film” at Oakland community college.
Through a curtain of smoke, because our professor always sat up in the front and smoked like a chimney the whole movie.

Throw in this one and you've got a trifecta of great movies...I'll take Fail Safe for the block, Peter.
Hey...remember when movies were actually pretty good and the big names of the day didn't want to look like some moron in a leotard and cape?

Thanks! To be honest, I'm not sure I ever knew that was Sellers.

Agreed. Good movie.
Another good one directed by Stanley Kubrick is Spartacus.
