Silver Streak is my favorite movie he starred in. What starts as a train murder mystery comedy turns into an action movie by the end.

But seriously, he's Wonka as far as I'm concerned. Depp's Wonka couldn't even match his.

Only movies of his that I remember seeing are Willy Wonka and Blazing Saddles. Got a lot of respect for him just off the strength of those two alone.

That is a great movie. Its a loving comedy-ish tweak on Hitchcock (and a pretty good one at that), and then Richard Pryor shows up almost exactly halfway into it and highjacks the movie into a new and somewhat berserk direction. But yeah, loved this guy, how could you not love this guy?

how great were the 70's that a guy like Gene Wilder (and Elliot Gould, Richard Benjamin, George Segal...) could become a major star? The reason we'll never have another like him is because market conditions pretty much shot that possibility to shit years ago.

Comedy movies definitely allow people who don't look like movie stars to become movie stars. That's the one genre that allows it.

In Blazing saddles was the first time I ever heard someone say the N word when I was a kid.
