Happy to see those scores on audio & video. Strangelove is solidly on my buy list.

I pre-ordered this on Amazon and watched it a couple of weeks back with the War Room trivia track/PIP and was really impressed with the presentation. This is one of my favorite movies (I still even have my special edition LaserDisc) and was glad to see it given such great treatment on BD. I really like the "book" style packaging on this and other prestige discs (like How The West Was Won); I hope it becomes a standard.

Are there different versions of the cover? I've only seen the following in stores, but really enjoy the white cover that's posted in the review (and I've seen elsewhere online also):

The Red X cover is a LE Best Buy exclusive!

Gentlemen, you can't fight in here! This is the war room!

Inside the Pentagon, a group of gruff white men

Is their skin colour significant in any way to the film? So why mention it?

YEAH! And why is it a "white-knuckle thriller"? "White House"? "Blacks are deep and inky"? and the worst of all...a "black comedy"?!

I think this one looks good for its film stock and age. Sony give this the 4K remastering treatment. Kudos to them for going the extra mile on a culturally important masterpiece!

Loved it!

I blind bought this, and it was one my first to be watched on the new Plasma, and it was amazing!


I didn't Sellers was that freakin' talented. I enjoyed the portrayal of The President.

Yea when I first saw this on video when I was about 13 I didn't even know Sellers was playing three different roles; I just accepted them as three different characters.

Also, the grain seemed to translate poorly on my screen at first (more annoying than authentic) but the image was set to "vivid" and resetting it appears to have ameliorated things.
