Dr. Strangelove is a masterpiece of comedy, and a benefactor of extreme good luck since so many great lines and scenes were ad-libbed or improvised in some way. The star of this black comedy is clearly Peter Sellers, who plays three roles, but it's actually George C. Scott who steals the movie with his over-the-top, fiercely nationalisitic portrayal of General Buck Turgidson.

Great movie, great comedy. Kubrick knows how to film.
My 2nd Kubrick pick would have been The Shining. The beautiful wide shots in the movie add so much to the atmosphere of being isolated in this huge hotel.
