Everybody knows the Pink Panther movies, and everybody says how great he was in multiple roles in "Dr. Strangelove" (and he was), but I think "Being There" is one of the best, understated, funniest (while also sad), most under-rated movies ever. The humor is so dry, but Sellers is freaking hysterical (the outtake at the end is priceless). And the best part of the above line is that Shirley MacLaine decides that she will be bold and "perform" for him so he can watch; but as always, he only watches the TV. Classic.
Also one of his last films, I think.
