STELLAR SELLERS | Some must-see movies from the actor

'DR. STRANGELOVE OR: HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB' (1964)
Quite possibly the best and most endurable movie comedy of all time, "Dr. Strangelove" has some of Sellers' finest moments. As beleaguered U.S. President Merkin Muffley, terrified British Group Capt. Lionel Mandrake and the dominating Germanic Dr. Strangelove, Sellers showed three distinctive characters all caught in the madness of nuclear war. Sellers' hysterical renditions help you laugh your way through the terrifying prospect of mutually assured destruction.
'A SHOT IN THE DARK' (1964)
The funniest of the "Pink Panther" films, this shows bumbling Inspector Clouseau at his most startlingly cloddish. Asked to investigate a murder, he absolutely refuses to believe the culprit is guilty, even though she was witnessed standing over the victim holding a bloody knife. Sellers comes into his own as Clouseau, destroying pronunciations of normal English words, as when he complains of suffering a "bemp" to his head.
'BEING THERE' (1979)
This was the film that Sellers was obsessed with making for much of his career. His haunting performance as Chance, a simple-minded gardener who becomes something of a pop messiah because of his idiosyncratic aphorisms, shows that wait was well worth it.
