No one can ever replace Sellers.
I somehow love him in 'The Party'. Dumbest movie really, but I find it hilariously funny.

anyway it sometimes amazes me how a good funny actor can make a bad choice and be in a shit movie....his movie Out of Towners with Goldie Hawn(who I love) was utter shite :scared:

Leap of Faith - excellent movie - as was Planes Trains - both where he is the serious one!! I think his stupid brand of humour is a little dated - so i think PP will be cringe worthy - but may be proven wrong.
John Candy was the master - made truely bad films excellent (apart from wagons east but he did die in the middle of it - literally)
