The scene in Blazing Saddles where he talks about his reason for giving up gunfighting after an encounter with a 6 year old always has me crying with laughter. His delivery of the punchline was brilliant.
I love Gene Wilder, he is one of my favourite actors of all time and was so upset when I heard he died. He is a great actor and I've seen a lot of his films which are all very good but in particular I like The Woman in Red and Blazing Saddles. Although Johnny Depp is a good actor, I found his Willy Wonka creepy and it just didn't feel right. No-one can match up to Gene's version of Willy Wonka!
What a truly nice and funny man. Thanks for all the laughs. RIP Gene!

Gene had a mischievous twinkle in his eyes, whereas didn't.

I think he got a small role in Bonnie And Clyde, I'll check.
Bonnie and Clyde was his debut and even then he showed his comedic skills as an undertaker who is taken hostage by Bonnie and Clyde.
He was the best chocolate in the Hollywood Box.
Goodbye Mr. Wonka..:)xxx
I LOVED Gene Wilder in Charlie and the chocolate factory must have watched it nearly 100 times!
A film that will never get old to me.
I think the remake of it was much too soon and a pale imitation.
What a truly nice and funny man. Thanks for all the laughs. RIP Gene!
