Be pedantic why don't you. The full title is Dr Strangelove or How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. Originally Peter Sellars was to play Major T.J "King" Kong, which meant him playing a total of four roles in the film.
Correct. However, if I am to be pedantic, as you suggest... I thought his name was Peter Sellers?

Some people are like a slinky. They might not be good for anything, but its fun to watch them tumble down stairs. &&

Whaaat!? How can you? I've found every single one of them to be great and consider him to be the greatest director of all time! The only ones I don't have on video are Dr. Strangelove, Spartacus and his very first works, before The Killing. Much of Spartacus wasn't his work though, but the rest are. It's almost scary when you think about it. Almost every single movie he made is now generally considered a timeless classic. His war films are especially powerful.
I don't like his body of work, except for Dr Strangelove. The way I feel is that Kubrick generally made films with his mind, not his heart. Very controlled and contrived. His films were often visually stunning, thought provoking but cold. I can't make a real emotional connection with any of his films, even Dr Strangelove though I love the movie. It is, as always, a personal thing, Kubrick was not my kind of director.

Did you catch "Lost in La Mancha" Michal? Brilliance. Should have been up for the documentary Oscar without a doubt.

Very good, Dom! So do you know which movie the previous quote is from? Now that you know the director, it shouldn't be too hard
Did you catch "Lost in La Mancha" Michal?
Nope, not yet... but I'm sure I will sooner or later.

If I had to guess I'd say "The Fisher King".
Yes?

No I haven't seen The Fisher King yet so I'm quite certain that's not it )
Hint - there's Eric Idle in it (shouldn't be a complete giveaway, I think he was in more than one of Gilliam's movies).

Could it be Jabberwocky? Or it could be Baron Munchausen. Two films I only saw once probably over ten years ago. ???

Well I'm not going to do a godfather and look it up and pretend that I haven't - so i'll guess Baron Munchausen because I find it hard to believe there's anything quotable in Jabberwocky - I remember I thought it was pants.
Munchausen. Final answer.

Not the best Gilliam movie for sure

Correct! The dialogue was between the Baron and little Sarah
