The whole baseball scene is still and will forever be one of the funniest things I have ever seen. It continues to get funnier each time I see it. Ditto for the entire movie. RIP Leslie.

As someone who first saw him in Forbidden Planet and Tammy and the Bachelor... he came a long way towards glory. Now he's headed for his reward.

Man this brutal. I experienced the worst day of work earlier today and now I hear one of my sources of laughter and cheering me up has passed on.

R.I.P. Leslie, I'll teach my kids to sing your version of the Star Spangled Banner.

My first impression of Leslie Nielsen was him wrestling a grizzly bear, bare-chested, to his death in The Day of the Animals. That's how I choose to believe he left us, too.

I wonder if there is some kind of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon divining tool that could pinpoint the next possible candidate(s).

So...is Death going to take another oldie to make it three for three, or is he going to take out a young one just to keep us on our toes?

Thanks for the thrills, Kersh. It was an honor to have met the man on a couple of occasions. He was a true gentleman. As this photo illustrates.

Damn RIP to two greats. Leslie Nielsen was one of my all time faves. Spent countless hours watching Airplane, Naked Gun series and Police Squad. He was always good, even if the material wasn't. True original and great talent.

Just when you thought this day couldn't get any sadder: legendary italian director Mano Monicelli, 95, kills himself by leaping off the fifth floor window at the hospital where he was being treated for prostate cancer.

This is heartbreaking. As far as I'm concerned, and as rich as my country's film legacy is, Monicelli was the greatest italian filmmaker. A razor-sharp mind, too, up until his last days, it's almost fitting that he decided to check out on his own terms instead of waiting around to be devoured alive by illness and aggressive treatment.

Still, what a massive bummer. My earliest memory of his films is being blown away by La Grande Guerra back in elementary school, when a teacher decided to show it during class.

Don't worry, he'll find someone else to cheat on soon enough. He'll probably hit on her pallbearers.

Never could get into Rollin's films.

Another: actress Neva Patterson, 90. I guess her biggest claim to fame was An Affair To Remember, geeks will probably know her best as Mike Donovan's Hitlermom from the original V. Funny thing, I mentioned this a few weeks ago somewhere else on the boards, but I love that scene where Donovan tries to explain the true evil of the Visitors to her. Probably Marc Singer's biggest dramatic moment ever. "Mother, it's WRONG!"

10 is one of my absolute favorite movies of all time, as is The Pink Panther Strikes Again.

Now there won't be that remake of 10 that he was thinking about doing some time back. Well, there might be, but it won't have him on board. Would have been hilarious in only the way Blake Edwards could do.

I'll be seeing 10 and The Pink Panther Strikes Again this weekend.

Robert Preston absolutely steals this entire movie, especially in the third act. Yeah, it's probably my favorite Edwards film as well.

Preston, William Holden and Robert Webber are such a great comic trio that I wish they had made more movies together. Alas, I think this was Holden's last film or nearly his last.

As a 49-year-old film fan, I'd say Blake easily had as many misses as hits, but he's left a an indelible mark on '70s and '80s cinema. Just my humble.

Amen. And thus, my saturday night movie is planned: The Great Race it will be. My favourite Edwards- just so much fun crammed into 2 hours.

While PP Strikes Again isn't considered to be the best of the canon by a long shot (or so I'm under the impression), I think I can safely say it's the movie that made & still makes me laugh the hardest- of all time. The opening visit at the asylum, the Quasimodo disguise, 'Dus your doug bite', the storming of the castle... just one classic moment after another.

Oh and I think you must be one sour grape to let your political correctness spoil The Party. It's a perfect time capsule and a great Sellers showcase, just classic comedy, & that's all there is to it.

Sucks. But on the upside his music career ended and achieved immortality long before he died. One of the few people I can think of who voluntarily quit making music while still in their prime - Ice Cream For Crow was one of his very best I think.
