Gene Wilder, the loveable Willy Wonka has passed away aged 83.


Loved that song 'Pure Imagination'

His role in many films was brilliant.

Oh, 2016.

I honestly thought he'd died a couple of years back. RIP.

Ah that's sad to hear. Himself and Richard Pryor were a great double act in some of my favourite films when I was younger.

That was actually the first film I remember recording on VHS. Haven't seen it in a while now but a great film.

For some reason I thought he was dead a few years. Well RIP.

His performance in Willy Wonka was one of the greatest acting roles in movie history.

Let's also not forget the movies he made with Richard Pryor.

He also made a movie in Ireland. Quacker Fortune Has a Brother in the Bronx. A charming movie.

I only saw 'see no evil, hear no evil' for the first time on Netflix last week. Was giggling all the way through. Loved it.

Witchie

Sad to see him go. Blazing Saddles, See no evil, hear no evil and Willy Wonka are 3 movies I will watch every time they are on tv. Love those movies. Stir Crazy was great too as was The Producers.

Feck ya 2016.

This still makes me laugh

Joeseph Balls

Sheriff: "Are we awake?"

Wilder: "We are not sure, are we black?"

Sheriff: "Yes"

Wilder: "Then we're awake".

Blazing saddles, what a film.

Sheriff: You ain't no wako kid...

Wilder: look at my hand...

Sheriff: Solid as a rock!

Wilder: yea but I shoot with this hand!!!

*raises other hand and it shaking terribly.

Loved him, saw him interviewed in the late late years ago and really liked him. Was he sick?

Would love to believe in an after-life, it would be great to think that someone up there is now taking Gene Wilder by the hand and softly singing...

...If you want to view paradise
Simply look around and view it
Anything you want to, do it
Want to change the world?
There's nothing to it
There is no
Life I know
To compare with pure imagination
Living there
You'll be free
If you truly wish to be...

Young Frankenstein.... Love that film...

Willy Wonka: So much time and so little to do. Wait a minute. Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.

A real shame.

Always liked this interview he gave.

Dr Crayfish

Always loved that man. Wish he did more in his later years he had a face and voice I couldn't get enough of. My mother used to say wasn't good looking but very attractive. The Waco Kid. Brilliant.
I always loved The Lady in Red with Kelly LeBrock. If anyone can find the scene where he gets almost caught by his wife cheating, the expressions on his face are just priceless. This 2016 lark is silly, he lived a long and hopefully happy life, I hope he's sharing a beer with Richard Pryor now in heaven, RIP Gene you made a young Crayfish laugh a lot.

He was such a funny guy. Young Frankenstein with him and Marty Feldman has to be one of the funniest movies ever....."What was the name on the brain" Eh Abbey....Abbey Normal :pac:
