Favourite Peter Sellers movie.

Poll question: Favourite Peter Sellers movie.

I love Peter Sellers - he's up there with Peter Cook and Peter Ustinov as one of my all-time favourite Comic Actors called Peter.

1. Being There.

His most nuanced performance.

[Wat_Tyler]

3. Being There was my vote - an all-time classic.

2. You blasphemer

Peter Cook rules ALL, and you well know that. :grr:

[Wat_Tyler]

4. I adore Cook. I'll put up a poll for him later.

I just adore Supergirl!

[dolo amber]

5. Pfft...don't bother

The few times I'm made posts in honor of him they've sunk like Kate Moss's cheeks. :(

[Wat_Tyler]

6. Yes, but I'm that much more popular than you.

[dolo amber]

7. Thanks

You just ruined Christmas. :cry:

[Deja Q]

8. Murder by Death... BTW, have you ever seen the original Bedazzled (1967)?

:D

[Wat_Tyler]

11. I have it on VHS.

Like I say, I'm a huge Peter Cook fan.

19. Peter Sellers Was IN Murder By Death...

... but is it accurate to call it a "Peter Sellers Movie"?

9. Had to go with Being There as well

10. The Mouse That Roared N/T

[Wat_Tyler]

12. Another good one.

As is After The Fox.

[Joe Chi Minh]

14. I'm Alright Jack and

The Two-Way Stretch. Both English films - I think both in black and white.

There was a wonderful character actress called Irene Handel in both of them, too. What a gem! And I've never heard an actor with a more perfect cockney accent than Sellars' in The Two-Way Stretch.

13. I confess I had to look this one up

'The Optimists'

Saw this once in a theater long ago and it affected me deeply. It was sad and sweet. Very little dialogue, IIRC, but powerful.

15. Being there....no brainer

[TheMightyFavog]

16. Casino Royale

C'mon I gotta show some love for that turkey.

17. The Pink Panther Strikes Again...

Clouseau: Does your dog bite?
Hotel Clerk: No.
Clouseau: Nice doggie.

(Dog barks and bites Clouseau in the hand)

Clouseau: I thought you said your dog did not bite!
Hotel Clerk: That is not my dog.

18. I Thought James Mason Was In Lolita (1960-something)

... was there a Peter Sellers version? Or am I confusing him with Woody Allen?

[Fiona]

20. James Mason played Humbert Humbert

but Sellers played Clare Quilty, the unabashed pedophile.

[arwalden]

21. Ah... Okay... Thanks. It's Been AGES Since I Had Seen That Movie

... I just don't remember him being in it. I'll have to see about renting it.

[Wat_Tyler]

22. It's a very strange and eerie movie.

Really disturbing subject.

[MrBenchley]

23. If it weren't a friendly call, Dmitiri, you wouldn't be getting it!

I also love any of the Pink Panther movies....the "Do you have a la-sanse for your minkey" scene is very nearly the funniest thing ever filmed....
