Our high school had a film club that showed a movie every Thursday after classes. It was a small windowless room that held about fifty chairs. It was always full. This was 1970. When they showed "The Party", when the lights went on after it ended, almost all the chairs had been turned over. We had actually fallen out of our chairs laughing. That group walked around the halls talking like that, saying 'Birdie num nums' for weeks.
Funniest Peter Sellers movie I've seen my whole life! Everyone talked about the character and the awkward clumsiness portrayed in just one movie. Amazing talent, a true genius I've always admired!
So glad to see this. Its wonderful that my kids, both millenials, also love it and regularly introduce their friends to it. So hilarious in a way few movies achieve.
I first saw this while on an airplane flight many years ago... I was laughing out loud so hard, the people around me must have thought I was crazy! Thank you for this.
The best expression in any film ever made in the history of the world ~ is the fabulous "Birdie Num Num"... Peter Sellers was so fantastic in The Party of course ~ but the supporting cast were also major contributors to the fun... Definitely one of the funniest films ever made. A little too long perhaps ~ but the funny moments more than make up for it. Classic movie..
FIRST TIME I WATCHED THIS I WATCHED IT 3 TIMES IN A ROW BECAUSE IT IS SO HILARIOUS, PETER SELLERS HAD HIS OWN STYLE OF COMEDY...I'M JUST GLAD HE DECIDED TO SHARE IT WITH US ❤
For me, the best comedy ever, with an oscar valuable performance by the great Peter Sellers! I laughed to tears when I was 13y old....I laugh to tears today, 55y old. Greets from Vienna. 😎
_So_ good I didn't recognize it for what it was when I saw it the first time. Maybe I wasn't in my right mind, but it's the same with music, some of the albums that I didn't really like at first are my favorites now.
I just re-watched parts of the movie, and at one point, I was laughing so hard my vision became fuzzy. I was afraid I'd blown a blood vessel or something. Watching Peter Sellers in The Party can be dangerous to your health.
When I was about 5 or 6 years old, I saw The Party on TV. I didn't remember the title, or even who was in it, but I remember "Hey man, close the door!". I didn't even understand what the guys in the closet were doing (I KNEW one of them had a cigarette in his hand, but I guess I was too young to realize they were smoking pot), but somehow that scene just cracked me up, even as a non-sequiter, and stayed stuck in my mind. So skip ahead about 15 years, and I up late one night, and I'm watching the A&E Channel, and this movie comes on, with Peter Sellers in it. By now, I'm a fan of the Pink Panther movies, and I may have seen The Mouse That Roared by this time, so I thought "Oooh, this might be good". So I'm watching this movie, and I'm realizing it seems vaguely familiar, and of course when THAT scene came up, I howled with laughter again, and thought "THAT'S THAT MOVIE I"VE BEEN LOOKING FOR, FOR FIFTEEN YEARS!".
As a side note, about 10 years ago, I went to a music festival where a Canadian band called Mahogany Frog was playing. At one point, the bass player introduces one fo their pieces, saying it's from a movie "you've probably never seen". So he says the title of the piece is, "You're Messugah!/I Am NOT Your Sugar!". Naturally, I recognized this, and blurted out "THE PARTY!". The bass player says 'That's right! Give them man a CD!". So I ended up getting a free CD because I knew the movie.
2:40 “We didn’t have the Titanic, we just had Peter and a group of people in a house” which pretty much was a different kind of disaster all on its own i.e: the toilet bathroom scene, the dinner scene and of course... birdie num nums lol
one of the top all-time funniest movies I had ever seen. I watched it more than 10 times and still end up hurting laughing till this day. The other 2 - young Frankenstein and nutty professor
No one did or has come close to imitating the indian accent like sellers. It probably helped that he lived In India for a short while. He is a phenomenal actor.
I snicker at hearing 'we wanted them to bring something to it' - then they cut to Denny in profile showing us his famous b'OOOOOiful, round, protuberant, GORRRRRRjus bum in profile. Yup... Birdie num-num Opening theme music And Den's backside (ahhhh... they just don't make 'em like they used to)
The fact there are actually people who think like you is dangerous. In India this film was a cult classic. The only people who cry 'racist' are usually white middle class lefties who are obsessed by colour - the real racists.
Seen this atleast 50 times. Thank you, Mr Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards. My all time fave.
I want a house like that set. It's so beautiful

This movie could never be remade. Nobody could be as funny as Sellers
One of my all time Favorite Movies....So Funny So Clever ....Everything About It
A very underrated movie. "Birdie Num Nums" may be my last, earthy utterance... 😂
Howdy bang bang part-en-er!
I am Indian. From India. And I heartily, comprehensively and joyously approve this film. 'Num, num!', I say!
This movie is one of the best comedies of all time and the music is fabulous.
Every so often comes along someone who is so pricelessly funny. There will never be anyone as great as Peter Sellers. RIP. We miss you so much.
Peter Sellers is a comedic genius and Party is a perfect movie.
So glad to see this. Its wonderful that my kids, both millenials, also love it and regularly introduce their friends to it. So hilarious in a way few movies achieve.
Blake Edwards + Peter Sellers = *magic*
I watch The Party at least twice a year. The best movie ever made.
I first saw this while on an airplane flight many years ago... I was laughing out loud so hard, the people around me must have thought I was crazy! Thank you for this.
You thought you were Meshuga !!

There’s really something of Jacques Tati in The Party.
I have watched this movie for more than 100 times..a beautiful masterpiece
It’s the best comedy of all time
Well... maybe 10 times for me... more than just a comedy, it builds up and explodes ! Brilliant
Me too
@@doctorlovedoctorlove2238 Oane of the best. Not to forget Dr. Strangelove
Next to "Being There" my favorite Peter Sellars movie.. Great piece of work..

Even SPECTER number one has to agree ...

Comedy for sure

Thank you FilMagicians. This is my favorite comedy movie of all time. Instant subscribe.

All the embarassing moments feels real. This movie is one the best comedies of all time.
Sellers was tremendous at physical comedy for starting as a voice actor. I wish they had gotten Buster Keaton and Harold Lloyd to work with him.
Hysterical when I was a kid.

Funny, I had exactly the same experience! Having been born in the Dutch Roman town of Noviomagus, I would write "non sequitur".
@@Kohntarkosz Great story!
Bakshi and drunk waiter are the best characters.
Thank you. What a treat!
Howdy partner!
Amazing movie
One of my favourite movies.
Im still laughing about the opening scene,birdie num num + howdy partner scene. Soo funny. Brilliant.
I love this movie....
Great movie, very clearly inspired by Jacques Tati's movies.
one of the best comedy movie in the whole world ever by my opinion..
“You’re meshugga”
“I am not your sugar”
lol
haha...hilarious.. Im sure, they couldn't use this line anymore today
Peter Sellers was brilliant
"In India we don't think we are, we know who we are"
Great line.
Perfect
Such a awesome movie with Peter Sellers.
Should survive as a classic.
omg such a funny movie, 🤣🤣🤣😄😄♥️P Sellers .at his best!

5:38 Never in my life have I seen anybody resemble Herman Melville as much as this actor!
I watched this first time in 2008 and it was hilarious
No one did or has come close to imitating the indian accent like sellers. It probably helped that he lived In India for a short while. He is a phenomenal actor.
Birdie Num Num we miss you 🙏🏻

Corky Romano 2001Movie
I never understood the joke during the famous song scene, when Peter keeps shifting around. Was he trying to conceal his arousal?
Hari day Pardinah Favorite movie of all time
I snicker at hearing 'we wanted them to bring something to it' - then they cut to Denny in profile showing us his famous b'OOOOOiful, round, protuberant, GORRRRRRjus bum in profile.

This film is included in my classics collection.
