Calling out Sellers’ role as President Muffley in the Stanley Kubrick masterpiece Dr. Stranglove is almost unfair: he also played Group Captain Lionel Mandrake and former Nazi scientist Dr. Strangelove, all three them facing nuclear annihilation after a crazed general orders a rogue attack on the Soviet Union. The darkly comedic and frantic film captures Cold War period paranoia in way few others have. It was nominated for 4 Oscars.
