I liked this movie. Was funny at times and I enjoyed it all the way.

I am 17.
While I was watching this movie I suddenly realised this was released in the 1960's. Cold war was on.
Then I realised how good/frightening would it have been to watch it back in the day.
Yes. Love it. 31 years old.

Yeah I liked the film. Though I wont lie, I have only seen it once and I really don't feel like watching it again (not that it's bad or anything. Its just the type of film I see once, and really don't have a desire to see again). I am 28.
shareI was a baby when it when it premiered. I finally watched my dvd recording of it tonight and enjoyed it. A dark comedy that makes one think, especially for the period in which it was released. It makes you wonder the true perhaps unknown consequences of nuclear testing. The change for the phone scene was great.
shareI liked it but I definitely wouldn't say it massively entertained me. I watched it more out of curiosity to explore and understand a largely foreign world to me. I am 33.

So yeah, that's how I feel anyways

I'm 29 but saw it for the first time about 14 years ago. I enjoy it for the same reasons I did back then, but have a deeper appreciation for its significance now than I did when I saw it first. I strongly believe that this is Kubrick's magnum opus. The method of presentation itself is a sociopolitical message of smiling in the face of fear. It functions as a comedy, an unspoken drama and as a period piece, a philosophy for looking at life. It's brilliance is in its stratas, never mind the all star cast performances.
It's not often in art people have to agree on a great work, but in this case it stands apart from contemporaries and classics no matter how the movie's viewer approaches it.

I think I first saw the movie on television when I was 14, or thereabouts. I was nine years old when it premiered and I didn't go into a walk-in movie theater until I was 17-years old. By the late sixties classics like "Dr. Strangelove" started making their way onto television.
If you did the math, you already realize that I'm sixty. "Dr. Strangelove," is a much better introduction to nuclear warfare than the 'duck and cover' films.
Oh, by the way, the scenario for dropping the bomb is incorrect. The flight manual makes it much more simple. Aluminum is weak and megaton range air drop nuclear warheads are heavy. If the doors won't open, just drop the bomb anyway. It will easily clear the doors out of the way.

I turned 65 three days ago and first saw DrS when I was fourteen. Loved it then, love it now. Knocks me out every time.
shareI am 33 and this is one of the best movies I ever saw.
