Anyone think The Pink Panther movies are great!!!

This one is, yes. The first PP has v. little Clouseau, it's merely an early 60's comedy about the upper classes in Switzerland- hence all the shots of ski resorts, etc, (in this film, the pink panther is a stolen diamond). This is the second, made in the same year as Sellers made Dr. Strangelove, (the peak of his career). The third is watchable, made about 12 years after A Shot in the Dark- but dated for its time, and clearly well after the peak of Seller's career. By the time of the fourth, Sellers is plainly ill, even when disguised ( he had had heart attacks ever since being married to Britt Ekland, and also he wasn't the most emotionally stable person anyway by all accounts), and the plots are hackneyed and characters even more so. They tried making a Pink Panther after Seller's death, but it was a catastrophic piece of *beep* apparently.

Yes I Do I like them a lot

The one's with Peter Sellers are great!!!

I used to, but don't anymore. The accident prone idiot has been done so many times since and we have been subjected to funniest home videos so much that it's all predictible and not funny any more, even though the Pink Panther movies kind of reignited the genre. Peter Sellers was the typical flawed genius too.

pretty good up until he gets into the apartment with Dyan Cannon's character's
apartment, but then it gets so contrived and overly long. It wears out its welcome by then.

I think sellars was a legend. i think the ones after that followed are ghastly. steve martin is no longer terroble

No. I don't think anyone thinks the Pink Panther movies are great. Not one.

Yes. Peter Sellers was brilliant. A Shot in the Dark (1964) and the Pink Panther Strikes Again(1976) are my favorites.
