Young Frankenstein and the Producers...
The scene stealing appearance in Bonnie and Clyde is pretty good too..albeit, brief.
Doing it in a glass elevator sounds pretty damn cool.

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.
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"?
"What's a dazzling urbanite like you doing in a rustic setting like this?"
Young Frankenstein.
Period.
It's so obvious that I'm going to close this thread since any further discussion is futile.
OK I Won't because I'm afraid of Kori, but you get my point![]()
Young Frankenstein
"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?
I wholeheartedly agree.
See post #6.
My bad.
I beg forgiveness.
Great film. That is my favorite with Gene Wilder.
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...
