He's playing the part wonderfully (Prof. Groeteschele), but I hate that I can't stand his character. Matthau always reminds me of my dad...he should be a good guy. 
Prof. Groeteschele: Yes, to keep from being murdered.
Brigadier General Warren A. Black: In the name of what? To preserve what? Even if we do survive, what are we? Better than what we say they are? What gives us the right to live, then? What makes us worth surviving, Groeteschele? That we are ruthless enough to strike first?
Prof. Groeteschele: Yes! Those who can survive are the only ones worth surviving.
Brigadier General Warren A. Black: Fighting for your life isn't the same as murder.
Prof. Groeteschele: Where do you draw the line once you know what the enemy is? How long would the Nazis have kept it up, General, if every Jew they came after had met them with a gun in his hand? But I learned from them, General Black. Oh, I learned.
Brigadier General Warren A. Black: You learned too well, Professor. You learned so well that now there's no difference between you and what you want to kill.

disturbing and terrifying films I've ever seen.
Not sure how anyone who didn't live through the Cuban Missile Crisis would feel about it, but I was 11 at the time and didn't realize until I got older how traumatizing those times were.
So there was that movie, and the other one that affected me deeply was "On The Beach".
"Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda..."
When I read the end of that book, I was riding the city bus home from class and bawling like a baby. Powerful story.
