One of my favorites.

 

RIP Gene

 

The 2 films he did with Mel Brooks are classics

I can't imagine Willy Wonka without him, either.  As well as they tried, it's still head and shoulders above the remake.

Gene Wilder was always one of my favorites.  A truly gentle soul, and a talented actor.  RIP.

Very much was one of the most talented actors out there.  RIP.

This totally sucks.. Yeah he was 83, but people/actors like Gene need to live forever..


Such a tragic loss.. RIP..


Puttin on the ritz..

RIP!! Blazing Saddles is one of my favorite movies!!!

Looks like we finally know when a man will die from drinking like that (Blazing Saddles reference).



I hope you've found peace Gene.

My daughter sent me a text about this earlier. A couple of weeks ago Willy Wonka was on TV, which is her only exposure to Gene Wilder. She asked me if he had been in any other movies and I then explained that he was a very popular actor at one time. There's a large number of young adults and children who only knew him as Willy Wonka. Not a bad legacy.

Stir Crazy, Haunted Honeymoon and Silver Streak we very underrated movies.. Gene and Richard Pryor rocked pretty hard..

Just imagine how much fun life must have been for Gene and Gilda in their short time together.

 

RIP

And you can tell Wilder is doing everything he can to get him to crack up.

 

Man, what a genius movie.
