Dr. Strangelove (the movie , that is)

[Wornears]

George C. Scott and Sterling Hayden are great as well. Although Peter Sellers' roles were just unbelievable. His "Mandrake" is priceless.

Scott's Gen. Turgidson description of the U.S. deaths from a nuclear war confrontation get me howling every time:

Turgidson: Mr. President, I'm not saying we wouldn't get our hair mussed, but I do say no more than ten to twenty million killed, tops, uh, depending on the breaks.

Muffley: I refuse to go down in history as the greatest mass murderer since Adolf Hitler.

Turgidson: Perhaps it might be better, Mr. President, if you were more concerned with the American people, than with your image in the history books.

And this scene with Scott about the possibility of Slim Pickens' bomber getting through to deliver his payload:

Muffley: Is there really a chance for that plane to get through?

Turgidson: Mr. President, if I may speak freely, the Russkie talks big, but frankly, we think he's short of know-how. I mean, you just can't expect a bunch of ignorant peons to understand a machine like some of our boys. And that's not meant as an insult, Mr. Ambassador, I mean, you, you take your average Russkie, we all know how much guts he's got. Hell, look, look at all them them Nazis killed off and they still wouldn't quit...if the pilot's good, see, I mean, if he's really..sharp, he can barrel that baby in so low [he spreads his arms like wings and laughs], you oughtta see it sometime, it's a sight. A big plane like a '52. VRROOM! There's jet exhaust, fryin' chickens in the barnyard.

Muffley: Yeah, but has he got a chance?

Turgidson: Has he got a chance? Hell, Ye...ye... [He covers his mouth dumbstruck, suddenly and solemnly grasping the implications of his words]

Should be required viewing in every high school history class in the U.S. (and elsewhere).
