Another one I just cannot understand the appeal.

RIP

Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein, and Blazing Saddles are classics from my childhood. And those movies are much older than me. I also saw the Producers and Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Sex when I got older.



This scene in particular really made me laugh.

Alternate timeline.

I was under the assumption he had passed away some years ago as well. Could be a Mandela effect.

Yep. I don't remember him passing away like Kirk Douglas. Or Berenstein Bears. But he might have in your timeline.

Damn, I loved him in Blazing Saddles and The Producers. RIP

Always loved the part in Blazing Saddles where he's describing his past.

He holds his hand out, and the sheriff says something like "steady as a rock". But then he holds out his other hand and it's shaking violently and he says, "Yeah but this is the hand I shoot with."

Just a great scene.

I thought he had been dead?!

Gene Wilder was awesome. Except for the Young Frankenstein movie. Never liked that one.

I don't see how anybody couldn't like that movie.

It runs a little "rich." Her part is a bit distracting. Still fine though. The part where he lectures those two on not opening the door no matter what happens is classic.

& it is in this film where Wilder is at his zenith physically. His eyes.
