Popcorn in Bed - Dr. Strangelove

Popcorn in Bed watches "Dr. Strangelove."

I've watched a lot of classic movies in my time. I think the #1 thing that disqualifies me from cinephile circles is that I hold no special regard for "The Godfather." But perhaps #2 on the list is that I have no special appreciation of Stanley Kubrick.

But one movie I don't dissent on is "Dr. Strangelove." I do like "Strangelove" and I do think it is a classic. And it's so rare that a comedy ages so well. 1964 here. 

When I was a kid, they showed "Dr. Strangelove" on PBS and I remember being shocked and somewhat traumatized by Slim Pickens sitting on the nuke as it drops from the bomber. The whole idea of comedy/satire was beyond me, I just found it scary.

Best of the Worst - Cannon Christmas in July

Back to form, I think, for "Best of the Worst." It's all Cannon movies.

I will say, without spoiling anything, that the Star Trek-related gag they do was very unsettling for me.
