In Memory Of Gene Wilder

Its always a tragedy to hear that a legend have left us.  In recent years we have lost a lot of fantastic actors. 

Today i heard the news,  that Gene Wilder is no longer with us. He was an actor who gave us a lot of wonderful films. Ever since the 60's up until the 90's, Gene Wilder knew how to entertain his audiences worldwide. I would like to mention some of the films i remember mostly from his wonderful film career. 

Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory 

A classic film where Gene Wilder did a wonderful performance as Willy Wonka, the chocolate factory boss. A funny and twisted comedy musical, with a lot of crazy characters. 

Young Frankenstein 

Mel Brooks classic comedy,  based on the story of Frankenstein,is one of the most funny comedies of the 70's. Gene Wilder did a really funny performance as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein.

Blazing Saddles 

Perhaps the greatest western comedy, directed by Mel Brooks.  A crazy mix of classic western elements and black comedy satire. Gene Wilder played Jim " Waco Kid " where his comedy timing worked excellent. 

Silver Streak 

A really funny mix of thriller and comedy, where Gene Wilder got together with legendary comedian Richard Pryor, on a crazy train ride where anything can happen. A lot of great actors were also seen here such as Ned Beatty, Clifton James, Fred Willard and many more. 

See No Evil, Hear No Evil 

The comedy duo of Gene Wilder and Richard Pryor returned, in a film that might be one of the best comedies of the 80's. Lots of funny dialogue between a blind man and a man who cant hear anything.  When they get involved in a murder, nothing goes as planned.  One of those comedies you should own on dvd. 

Thank you Gene Wilder for everything that you did for comedy in cinemas. Your portraits will be remembered forever, and help many actors find their own way. A true legend in Hollywood, and all across the world.
