Gene Wilder had a hand in some of the most iconic comedic films of all time including Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory. Today, he has passed away apparently due to complications stemming from Alzheimer’s disease.
Whether you’re familiar with his work or not, you should definitely rewatch or watch, discover, and be amazed for the first time by his long and storied filmography.
So much of it holds up even though this is 2016.
