Gotta love this strange film
“You can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!” See the black Cold War comedy Dr. Strangelove on the big screen. (If you only know Peter Sellers as the bumbling inspector Dr. Clouseau from the Pink Panther films, you’ll be impressed by his performance here, playing three different roles.) Showtimes 2 and 7 p.m. and Wednesday and cinemas include Montrose 12, Akron; Cinemark Cuyahoga Falls; Cinemark 15, Macedonia; Valley View 24; and Movies 10, Wooster. www.fathomevents.com.
