RIP Gene Wilder. :( He's another I loved my entire life and this year has just been so sad. I loved his movies, especially "Willy Wonka", "Young Frankenstein", and his movies with Richard Pryor. He's back with Gilda Radner now.
RIP, Gene Wilder.
Sad.
RIP, Gene. My favorite movie starring him is probably Blazing Saddles, but Willy Works, Young Frankenstein, and Stir Crazy are also great.
RIP. Willy Wonka is a classic. I was so mad when they did Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with Johnny Depp. What. A. Disaster. It really was horrible. None of the mystery or the magic of the real deal. Johnny Depp is a horrible main actor, IMO.
May he RIP. Loved him in the Mel Brooks' films and as Willy Wonka. What a talented actor. He and Clevon Little always crack me up in Blazing Saddles. Hopefully they are having just as much fun in Heaven as they supposedly did on the set of the movie. Bless you Gene Wilder
i'm so gutted.
The Waco Kid was my favorite... he will be missed.
When I was a child, I was captivated by him in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I especially loved this song:

Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
RIP, Gene.
Always loved both versions of the 'Chocolate Factory' movie. His roles in "Bonnie & Clyde," "Blazing Saddles," and "Stir Crazy" gave those films a necessary, defining comic edge. He could make any movie better with his presence--Not something you can say about most actors any more.
RIP.

Very sad. Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory is my all time favorite movie. And I love Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, and damn near everything else he's done. RIP, Good Sir.
