I just watched most of it on A&E. It just ended 2 minutes ago. It was a re-broadcast of live broadcast back on April 9th, 2000.

I must say it was great, so many familair actors. I got to get the original now.

Did anyone see this?

Yup, great movie. The DVD is a little pricey. This and Dr. Strangelove are often compared to each other.

I always thought that Dr. Strangelove was a old James Bond movie

It's a Stanley Kubrick film. Great cast as well. When Ronald Reagan became president he wanted to see the "war room". When he was told one didn't exist he didn't believe them because he saw it in Dr. Strangelove.

I'm not sure if that story is really true or not but i think it is.
