A lot of people have seen this movie and never quite understood what it meant.

BTW. I`ll have a very ordinary REAS tonite. Tomorrow, hmmmmmmm. Maybe an EL.

And all those hyper aggressive posts. We`ll have to hose some of you down.

Quality does not occur by chance. It is the result of intelligent activities.

So don't keep me in suspense -- what's it about?

Great movie.

The first time I saw that movie (in my youth) I couldn't make out where it was going.

Much more understandable today - mental giants overreacting with lots and lots of drama. Still, the plot is weak, but hilarious just the same.

What made you think of that Qbec? I enjoyed a RASS this evening. Partagas Shorts earlier in the day.

It's the longest title for a movie nominated for an Oscar.

War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
John Stuart Mill

Gotta love Slim Pickens,and watching him ride it down.

To me the movie is about how subjective, personal perspectives affect us all.

Quebecmike --that is the best desciption of what that movie is about, that I have ever heard. Only thing I'd add to that would be, "...the movie is about how subjective, personal perspectives affect us all"....and a person with a position of power (rank) can effect an outcome to support their perspective.

But I could be crazy, too.

Great Peter Sellers vehicle. Really expressed his range.

Classic Peter Sellers. And Sterling Hayden damn near steals the movie as General Jack Ripper.
