Silver Streak is also an all time classic.
Thought he partnered better with Cleavon Little than Richard Pryor. Why Cleavon Little didn't do more in movies is beyond me.

They were trying to sell candy bars.

Gene Wilder......one of the best ever!
The Producers
Start The Revolution Without Me
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
Blazing Saddles
Young Frankenstein
Silver Streak
The Frisco Kid
Stir Crazy
The Woman In Red
See No Evil, Hear No Evil
I adored Gene. His roles in Willy Wonka, Blazing Saddles, and Stir Crazy were enough to make him a legend.

Then that Twix ad on TV is rip off.

Effin Hollywood. Makes a couple of movies with the mediocre Wilder and the comedic genius Richard Pryor -- and has Pryor as the straight man of the duo!

Because I question Hollywood's mistreatment of comedic genius Pryor so they can give this mediocrity the comedic leading roles?
Some people just don't want to hear the truth.
Mel Brooks as nuanced and Gene Wilder as hilarious.
Mother of God help us all.

Did you see the end?
Willy Wonka was going to retire and the whole event was to find a good hearted child to run the factory.

"What did you expect? "Welcome, sonny"? "Make yourself at home"? "Marry my daughter"? You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know... morons. "
RIP Mr Wilder you will be missed

Such a great movie, so many great quotes.
"So Jim, what are your hobbies, what do you like to do?"
"Oh I don't know, play chess, screw..."
"Let's play chess".
Or something like that.
Among my favourite 5 movies ever, and my favourite comedy, with only The Castle coming close.
"But I shoot with this hand!"
Never heard of The Castle, but anyone that likes those lines from Blazing Saddles must know what they are talking about, so I ordered a DVD.

Aussie classic - so good my kids study it in English at school.
Done on a low budget, with some of the greatest lines that have become part of the Australian vernacular.
"That's goin straight to the pool room."
"Tell him he's dreamin"
Enjoy.
They had Blazing Saddles on TV yesterday, in Gene's honour.
"No thank you, 15's my limit on schnitzengruben".
Please recite the following:
"I"
"I"
"Your name"
"Your name".
Mel Brooks at his best. Gene didn't get all the good lines.
The schnozberries really do taste like schnozberries.
