Dr. Strangelove, however, is the best movie ever and only a commie wouldn't find it wonderful and hilarious. Fun Fact: Stanley Kubrick wanted to end the movie with a giant pie fight, but the studio could only afford one take. When Kubrick didn't like the take, he decided to end the world instead. Please note in the war room there are long tables of pies noticeable throughtout the movie. Amazing!
