    I'm ashamed to say that I only got around to watching this recently, but what a fantastic film this is! Peter Sellers is incredible in the three roles aswell; I haven't seen many of his films but this has made me want to see them all.
    The soda machine scene is pure comedy gold also :D

    I didn't like this film first time I watched it, but second I was in stitches. The whole thing is brilliant comic absurdity, and yet terrifying at the same time. Classic moments a plenty: 'stealing our precious bodily fluids', the classic Dimitri phone call, or the possessed arm (a brilliant comic performance from Sellers). Sometimes watching his films you'd think Kubrick is a humourless bastard. But this proves his mastery of yet another genre.

    You very nearly made me choke I laugh so hard, The Economist. That was inspired. ;)

    "Mein Furer, I can walk!!!"

    Classic film. With a very young James Earl Jones, if I recall correctly...

    Also ashamed to say I only got around to watching this recently. One of the best films I've seen in awhile, enjoyed it as much the second time as the first and usually I'm not too bothered watching things twice. The scene with Slim Pickens on the bomb is epic!
