I had the sound off when it was on, and I know a million people have written about it, but the lack of sound really brought into even clearer relief how well Kubrick nailed the look of those Cold War thrillers; the scenes on the bomber, especially, have that hard-light intensity and glitter that calls to mind <I>Fail Safe</I> and other films of the period. All of which makes it even more surreal when Slim Pickens suddenly pops the bomb out and rides it down to glory.Brian Doanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17903729233401672600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4883634507539657866.post-18237045862240857592009-02-09T22:26:00.000-05:002009-02-09T22:26:00.000-05:00I have to disagree: I think it's The Godfather.

No, just kidding, but I still would agree with Ebert and go with <B>Kane</B> for it's inexhaustible well of editing, photographic and audio treats. <BR/><BR/>And that, and <B>The Godfather</B> are two I always watch. As well as <B>Dr. Strangelove</B> which I started watching for the 576th time on TCM the other night when I happened upon it. But really, almost any very well made film that I like will stop me if I happen across it.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.com
