1. Evening program looks great.

Wish I had cable here.

The Party is funny as hell. Plus, Sellers drives a three wheel Morgan!

Dr. Strangelove. Few better films. Kubrick at his best, but then again, aren't nearly all of his?

Brief Encounter is classic.

And any night with Bergman is good.

2. In a weird twist...

...tonight was also the JFK profile on PBS's The American Experience, which meant it was difficult not to think of Dr. Strangelove.
