Eighty-three is a good run, but I’ll miss Gene Wilder anyway. …Probably Blazing Saddles; although of course the distance between that movie and either Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Young Frankenstein is too close to call. He was good at what he did.
Prayers and good wishes for his family and loved ones.
Maybe I’m a Gene Wilder contrarian, but Silver Streak and Stir Crazy are at the top of my list, though whether I put Stir Crazy above Blazing Saddles or below is still in doubt.
You can be contrarian. I mean, sh*t, I didn’t even have The Producers on my list and that’s probably a crime somewhere.
I have Silver Streak, Willy Wonka, and Young Frankenstein in the top five .. in no particular order.

Whatever Gene Wilder did, he did with excellence.

I choose to believe he and Gilda Radner are giving one hell of a good reunion show.

RIP, Mr Wilder. You did good.
