Best Gene Wilder Role/Film?

[Kyle Smith]

He's one of my favorite actors. I figure he at least deserves a thread in his honor.



It's so hard for me to decide my favorite, but I'd probably have to go with Blazing Saddles.

Love that movie.

:>

[L.I.T]

Young Frankenstein.

[Mr. Peabody]

Willy Wonka or The Woman in Red

[SpursWoman]

Willie Wonka FTW. :spin

[ShoogarBear]

1a. "No, it's pronounced Fronk-en-SHTEEN!"
1b. "Well, two naughty, nasty little children gone. Three good, sweet little children left."
2. "My name is Jim, but most people call me . . . Jim."
3. "I'm in pain and I'm hysterical! I'm in pain and I'm wet . . . and I'm still hysterical!
4. "We bad, uh huh!"

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

Very underrated movie, and it was hilarious.

He's good in all his movies. I like the ones listed here, but I'll add The Frisco Kid and Everything you wanted to know about sex.

"Young Frankenstein" is wonderful! And I've always liked the sappy "Funny About Love", but for me it has to be "Willy Wonka". I was so young but I swear I had my first sexual turn on during that film!!!! And I think I had my first orgasm when he sang "The Candy Man"! :lol

Damn.

I've never been more attracted to you than at this very moment.

He doesn't sing "The Candy Man." The clerk at the candy store does.

[CuckingFunt]

After giving this some thought, I'm going to have to go with a three way tie between Willy Wonka, The Producers, and Young Frankenstein.

[peewee's lovechild]

He doesn't sing "The Candy Man." The clerk at the candy store does.

Either way, it's erotic how someone can have an orgasm to that song.

[fatsack]

Willy Wonka with Blazing Saddles a close 2nd.

[mrsmaalox]

Fuck!! Just ruin a precious childhood memory for me why don't you!!

[mrsmaalox]

That's not even the best part. I used to fantasize that Willy and I "did it" in that hot air balloon (or whatever it was) at the end of the movie! :lol

cue Funt with some kind of know it all memory dasher bullshit!!

Glass elevator.

My goodness.

[mrsmaalox]

Glass elevator.

My goodness.
Enough with the buzzkills already!! At least I remember the most important parts :eyebrows You can't take that from me!!!!

[peewee's lovechild]

Doing it in a glass elevator sounds pretty damn cool.

[whottt]

Young Frankenstein and the Producers...


The scene stealing appearance in Bonnie and Clyde is pretty good too..albeit, brief.

[mrsmaalox]

I love chick fights.
Well you ain't gonna see one here. I am quite positive Funt could mop the floor with me (I say that with all due respect , of course). I will retreat now and hide until the coast is clear.

[Summers]

I like the Frisco Kid.

[MrChug]

I like the Frisco Kid.

I think EASILY he was the most brilliant in "The Frisco Kid". Difficult role and accent to pull off AND make funny...and this movie is one of my favorites. It's a bit obscure and I doubt many have watched it, but easily my favorite.

Why did everybody forget STIR CRAZY!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Stir Crazy a CLOSE second...

Stir Crazy is magnificent and he makes an excellent pairing with Richard Prior.

What about "Hear No Evil, See No Evil"?

:lmao

[Slomo]

Young Frankenstein.

Period.

It's so obvious that I'm going to close this thread since any further discussion is futile.

[Slomo]

OK I Won't because I'm afraid of Kori, but you get my point :)

[Jimcs50]

Young Frankenstein

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

"Blazing Saddles".
It's not even close.

"Are we awake?"
"That depends. Are we.........black?"
"Yes, we are."
"Then we are awake........but very puzzled...."

I caught an interview with Gene in the past couple years.

He said he quit doing movies because people were sending him scripts and saying "make it funny". But he said "That's not what I do", meaning the material is funny and he just delivers it. Apart from his talent, he's been pretty damn fortunate to have work with the excellent writers and directors.

Sorta like Tim's awufully good, but where would he be without Pop?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Young Frankenstein.

Period.

I wholeheartedly agree.

See post #6.

[peewee's lovechild]

See No Evil, Hear No Evil

My bad.

I beg forgiveness.

[slayermin]

I like the Frisco Kid.

Great film. That is my favorite with Gene Wilder.

[MrChug]

It was a decent movie, but I just think they were trying to ride the chemistry and the success of Stir Crazy. I just think it was anywhere near as good. You can't duplicate the greatness of that movie, but I still have Frisco Kid as my favorite/funniest performance by Wilder. Not a bad story either as comedies go...
