For me Blazing Saddles is in the top 10 films of all time. Love his films with Richard Pryor.

So many have gone this year. He was one of the best comedy actors of all time with Blazing Sadles one of the funniest movies of all time!

So sad to hear that he's gone. One of the great comic actors of the 20th century, but he owed a lot to the comic genius of Mel Brooks. For them to have made and acted in three of the funniest films of all time is some achievement.
There's one good thing that might come out of his passing, and perhaps a TV channel will show Young Frankenstein again, which I haven't seen for years.

Enjoyed many a film of his and he seemed a very quiet, down to earth bloke when interviewed - which in itself was quite rare.
No one seems to be mentioned Sherlock Holmes' smarter, younger brother. Very good movie.
The scene in the office in Wonka is still damned good and Depp's version wasn't fit to lick his boots.

Loved most of his films and only indifferent one was itself a big success ...Woman in Red .. A good career and what is so odd for me is I remember so many seeing at the cinema with fond memories of Sherlocks smarter younger brother

Yet another of my childhood heroes gone. Loved his partnership on screen with Richard Pryor and being a deaf git myself found See No Evil, Hear No Evil side splittingly funny. RIP.

Gene Wilder was a one off actor who always looked somewhat spaced but you always rooted for him because he had nothing in the game, nearly always a selfless decent character came to the fore, he made me laugh so much as a young child and just made me happy inside.
The films that I adore most with Wilder are Willy Wonka & the Chocolate factory Stir crazy The Producers and Blazing saddles, he will be very much missed and loved because of his brilliant films may he R.I.P.
