I think this was one of his best roles, even as Iconic as his Wonka was.

God, I love that movie.
:tup:
The lack of See No Evil, Hear No Evil is disturbing.
Nobody in this thread is bad enough either:
Willy Wonka* & the Chocolate Factory was one of my favorite films growing up, and later on I got exposed to Wilder’s charisma and brilliant comedic talent in Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein. Gene Wilder’s name will be forever attached to genuine classic cinema.
We are the music makers…we are the dreamers of dreams…

Fixed.
Love Wilder he’s great, but Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is fucking awful.
Watching Blazing Saddles tonight before work.
No words for a great actor. RIP. 2016 is still going.
roald dahl one of the GOATs
He will always be Leo Bloom to me. The Producers is one of the greatest movies ever made, and anyone who says differently will have to fight me.
You’ll probably win, granted, but it’s an asskicking I’ll be proud to take.
Lol you know what I meant. That was the original book name in any case.
Funnily enough, I haven’t even seen the atrocious Depp version for obvious reasons.
Such a shame he retired so early ala Rick Moranis, I believe he had a few good movies left in him.
Then again, that meant we got god tier in-his-prime Gene Wilder rather than someone akin to post-90s Eddie Murphy shitting all over his legacy. Or Sean Connery making embarassing animated movies about skateboarding grandpas.
What’s the skateboarding Connery movie name?
RIP…
Can’t wait for 2017 to come, 2016 has brought us nothing but shit.
Sir Billi. It’s even worse than the trailer makes it out to be. And yes, I have seen the entire thing. It’s not even so bad it’s funny. The “jokes” are basically just a series of really unfunny James Bond references, most of which are in the trailer, and like half of them aren’t even from the Connery movies. Like the parachute scene from The Spy Who Loved Me or the dam bungee jump from Goldeneye. And the worst part is the story I heard was that this was his last movie before retirement because he wanted to make a Scottish film for his final role to help their movie industry. So naturally, this meant a sub-Food Fight ghetto animation project slapped together on a computer running Windows ME.
Passing by to pay my respects. R.I.P.
