About the film: Through a series of military and political accidents, a pair of psychotic senior military officers – U.S. Air Force Commander Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden) and Joint Chiefs of Staff General “Buck” Turgidson (George C. Scott) – hatch an ingenious, foolproof, and irrevocable plan to unleash a wing of B-52 bombers and their nuclear payloads on strategic targets inside Russia. When the brains behind the scheme, Dr. Strangelove (Peter Sellers), a wheelchair-bound nuclear scientist with bizarre ideas about man’s future, accidentally activates the bombing mission, even the President of the United States is unable to stop it. The inevitable comes to pass as the efforts of the Pentagon brass and all the politicians in Moscow and Washington cannot undo the cascading series of cataclysmic events.

I have never seen Dr Strangelove before and heard it is one of Kubrick’s great movies..would love to see it on the big screen.

I want to see this movie because I have not seen it before. I have had no time to go to movies when I was working.
Thank you so much for entering. We will announce the winners on Sunday night, 9/11 (sorry about that date, but I have no choice) between 6 and 7pm. Good Luck!
I’d like to see Dr. Strangelove because it’s been a really long time since I saw it, and I’d love for my next viewing to be on a big screen 🙂
I’ve been trying to watch more critically acclaimed movies that I’ve never seen. One of those is Dr.Strangelove. I’ve only seen the beginning where the title card is displayed. I remember my teacher showed it to us explaining what the airplanes represented. It was beautifully made and the song being played coincided perfectly. I would love to see Dr.Strangelove on the big screen as my first time watching the FULL movie!
Hi, I haven’t seen your tweet yet. Please let me know when/if you tweeted so that I can find it OR let me know if you don’t have a twitter account by commenting here. Thanks!
The big screen should do justice to at least two scenes: the War Room (in which there can’t be any fighting), and Major Kong ridin’ th’ big un!!
I marked my calendar the day I found out this film was coming to the big screen last November. (I’m not kidding, check my blog post http://iloveoldermen.tumblr.com/post/134172303974/psa )
This is definitely my favorite Kubrick film and even perhaps my favorite all time film if I really had to choose. I would give anything to see the original ending, and I can’t wait to see this on the big screen! As a younger person you loves older movies, I’ve really enjoyed the fathom events.
i havent seen this movie probably since college in my film studies classes. im a movie fan and to see this movie in theaters would be so fun!
I’ve been meaning to watch this for a while now but still haven’t. I love Peter Sellers in The Pink Panther as well as George C. Scott so it would be cool to see it for the first time on the big screen!!
I’ve been meaning to see Dr. Strangelove for years; it’s my husband’s favorite movie and as a lover of classic films, I can’t believe I haven’t. It would be great to see it on the big screen for my first time!
I’d like to see this movie because in this time of REAl danger from a REAL lunatic who could be president, I’d like to see some levity about the insanity that was real then and all too real now
I only saw the full movie once, a few years ago, it is definitely interested. Peter Sellers is great in it. It is quite an iconic movie (often referenced in The Simpsons). I love to see old movies on the big screen. It makes the experience much better than on TV.

I would love to see Peter Sellers brilliance on the big screen like the way it should be. I would love to go because this is I think the film that demonstrates his versatility the most.
I saw the movie years ago and would like to see it on the big screen. Peter Sellers was incredible.

I’d love to see “Dr. Strangelove” on the big screen because it’s a brilliantly directed and acted film, and seeing Peter Sellers in not one but three roles would be a treat!

Hi, thanks for letting me know… I have a feeling I didn’t see it because your tweets are protected (not sure though)…
You’re right about my tweets being protected. I adjusted that feature. Thanks.
Thanks for letting me know. Going forward that will allow me to track things better.
Hi Seth, I just sent you a very timely email. If you don’t receive it, please let me know. Thanks!
I’d like to see it on the big screen because it’s one of the funniest movies ever made. ’nuff said.
I do not have a Twitter account, so I am posting here to enter but cannot tweet the message.
Good enough reason for me! Thanks for entering and Good Luck 🙂
I want to see DR STRANGELOVE on the big screen because any lover of cinema should never pass up an opportunity to see a Kubrick film on the big screen. (I will now tweet as Evil Toaster)
Stanley Kubrick is one of my favorite directors. However, I’ve never seen a single one of his films on the big screen. I intend to correct that starting this month, as well as next month with The Shining. Thank you TCM, Fathom Events, & Annmarie.

Sounds like a good plan to me 🙂 Thanks for entering and Good Luck!
Hi Dan,
Happy to say that you’re one of our six winners! Just sent you an email. If you don’t get it, please let me know by posting here!
Thanks!
I would love to see Dr. Strangelove on the big screen. It is one of my all-time favorite movies – in my estimation one of the most perfect movies ever made. But I’ve never seen it on the big screen and I think that the amazing scenes shot in widescreen will look phenomenal!
One of my all-time favorites.
I would love to see Dr. Strangelove or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb on the big screen because it will be a lot more fun than the old “duck & cover!”
