Another part of my childhood has past away.

Ah,no.
Another light goes out.
Dunno why but the scene from "Silver streak",just Gene and Richard driving through the early morning mid-west,has always stuck with me.
RIP.

Saw this on Yahoo. I always enjoyed watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory growing up along with Young Frankenstein. RIP, Gene.

An unfortunate coincidence. Just this morning I watched my DVD of Silver Streak and had planned to watch the other three movies Wilder did with Richard Pryor the rest of the week. While watching the movie this morning it crossed my mind more than once that with Wilder in his 80's, it was a good thing that he was still with us.

He was great in everything I saw him in, and Willy Wonka is a movie I'll always really enjoy.

RIP Gene Wilder

Gene Wilder will be missed. The Producers, Blazing Saddles and Young Frankenstein are some of my favorite movies. Thanks for all the laughs doing what you loved to do, Gene. RIP.

Rest in peace Mr. Wilder. Thanks for the laughs.

RIP Gene Wilder. Thanks for the memories.

Say hi to Gilda for us.

Sniff.

Damn! I thought 2016 was finally giving us a break.

Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein & Stir Crazy are all-time favorites, and I remember seeing Silver Streak at the old Outdoor Theater. Which reminds me, I have to buy Stir Crazy on blu-ray.

Few celebrity deaths leave me truly heartbroken. This is one. I guess there's going to be one every year for me- last year it was Leonard Nimoy, the year before it was Robin Williams. And now Gene.

2016, stay away from Mel Brooks, you hear me?

This is so sad

One of my favorite bits from Willy Wonka:

I just love how there was a moral to the story itself and to each character.

RIP, Mr. Wonka... for that is how I knew you best, Mr. Wilder...

 

[RJDiogenes]

I can't believe he was in his 80s. Where the hell are we?

RIP, Gene Wilder.

He was a supremely funny guy. His performance in Young Frankenstein is classic.
