Haven't seen either in more years than I can remember--in which does Slim Pickens take that last very wild ride on the nuke?

Last scenes of Strangelove. Can't figure out how he didn't lose the ht to the windblast :-) Considering the USAF did not cooperate with the movie, they faked the BUFF interior pretty well except for the Nav/EWO areas. Rick MFE
Excellent, cadet! You've passed the test and has earned the right to proudly wear a gilded Starfleet Communicator Badge ...
... which I happened to notice you curiously made no mention of ever having worn. ;-)
It's for ... for ... scientific purposes! Yeah, that's it! For the study of how ships that are only about 70% the size of the NCC-1701-A can still be 70% the size of the vastly larger NCC-1701-D. This is a paradox which has boggled the minds of scientists everywhere since the late sixties ...
love goergy shooting the coke machine.
strangelove parodied in cartoons ever after.
it was a loyal texan hat.
Yes, someone already did. I didn't because I thought being fiction disqualified it, but now I realize the thread says "WWII Movies" and not "WWII Historical Movies"...

The first time I ever saw Strangelove, as a kid, I turned the TV on right at that point. Spent years (pre-VCR) trying to find out what the hell was going on!

I ran into Donald Sutherland with his son in a Las Vegas shopping mall while TDY to Nellis AFB back in about 1982. While one of my flight mates ran into Abercrombie & Fitch to borrow a pen and piece of paper for an autograph, my other buddies and I talked with him for a couple minbutes. I asked him what his favorite line from his movies was. He said. Woof, woof.......!

I remember going to a friend's house to see it because he had a colour TV. ;]

Um, perspectives are distorted in space?
Sounds like more fun than being dragged to a Phillies game to sit for hours in the heat and bright sun.

Bet that was a disapointment ;o)
Now, if the thread topic had been 'WW2 Historical Movies' we would have a very short thread, wouldn't we? Except for 'Pearl Harbour', most of the war movies I've seen have been pretty well inaccurate. :-P
RobG Who has taken an oath to never watch 'Pearl Harbour'. Or 'Titanic'. Not even on pain of death.

Mr Sutherland only does the '60s, maaann. He got stuck in a time warp and never found the next decade. But he does do it well!

Reminds me of Sean Connery. He's been an Edinburgh-born immortal Egyptian Spaniard, an Edinburgh-born Belorussian Soviet submarine captain, an Edinburgh-born dragon, an Edinburgh-born deep space lawman...
...and, damn, but he's been a good one!

Kelly's Heroes... One my all time faves also
