Love him!    "We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15 | |

Loved him as Willy Wonka. His roles with Richard Pryor in Stir Crazy and Silver Streak were great too. He made me love candy and all things sweet. | |

my fave film of Gene's is Young Frankenstein (1974) I have watched that film so many times.......I know the dialogue 
I give it 5 out of 5 
this is my fav scene 
I don't know how many times I've seen this movie. Love it. My sister's fave was "Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother."

Another comedy I found really touching when I saw it as a teenager was Gene Wilder's "Quacker Fortune Has a Cousin in the Bronx" set in Ireland. Worth watching if you can find it. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

The first Gene Wilder movie I ever seen was See No Evil Hear No Evil. I must have only been about 4 at the time. My mum's boyfriend at the time brought around a tape he recorded from the TV. I still have that tape in the attic, I might fish it out and watch it for old time's sake. A couple of years later I saw Willy Wonka in school and I thought it was weird that suddenly he was able to hear. I remember asking my teacher if he was really deaf. Thinking back, I wonder if she thought it strange that I was able to quote entire lines of dialogue from See no evil hear no evil, considering I was only about 6 years old... I know that movie doesn't get the same recognition as the likes of blazing saddles and young frankenstein but it will always be a classic to me. | |

Well because of your age. A good movie but not the best of Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor team ups. Stir Crazy and Silver Streak is better, check them out and you might agree. Also there is Another you
