I've just read about the passing of "Willy Wonka" amongst other characters he'd played.
Make em laugh upstairs now Gene.
RIP comedy master
He finally got his blue blanket.
His role as Leo Bloom in The Producers changed my world when I was a kid! R.I.P Gene.
A killer scene for me was the blind guy with walking stick in the bar in See no evil, Hear no evil
RIP.
Oh dear, that is sad. Wonderful in so many films - Stir Crazy, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles, etc.
A true comedy genius that filled my youth with mad laughter.
Fuzzy wuzzy was a woman?
RIP funny man.
RIP Mr Wonka
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
RIP Sir. Start the Revolution Without Me remains one of the funniest films I've seen.
Thanks for making sure that I never forgot the year the French Revolution started (came in handy once on quiz night).
Rip ,true comedy legend

Saw Young Frankenstein again recently,a brilliant film.
RIP the Waco kid, keep shooting with "this" hand.
Funny, funny guy: RIP
Very funny man ,sad to see him go R.I.P
I owe Gene Wilder a lot of lol moments and quite a few more delicate emotions. 2016 sucks. May he RIP.

one of the greats for sure, to forever live on in condescending memes,
RIP
Rip gene: loved him and Richard prior together
So sad to hear of his passing, so many great movie moments.
RIP GW.
A true comic legend RIP GW .
I don't usually respond to these, cos well i'm a cold hearted bugger that doesn't usually give a toss, but this is sad, so many genius movies, that were only genius because he was in them. Bye bye Willy, i'm off to lick my wallpaper.

RIP Gene. Hopefully one of the channels will put on a GW night, Blazin Saddles followed by Young Frankenstein would be an epic double bill. With films like these you'll not be forgotten Sir.
A great actor, personality, and addition to our shared culture.
Thanks for making your mark Gene.
So clever my foot fell off.
Saddened to hear this, much joy and laughter from his work. RIP.
Sad news indeed. RIP Gene.
I was sad to hear news of his death on the radio this morning. One of my first thoughts was that I must make some time to watch a few of his films in the coming days........
He has left behind some classic films as his memorial, very varied but all successful because of his enormous ability. I've enjoyed every film I've seen him in and some I've watched many times. One of the greats of the business, thank goodness his films live on...
I still love Blazing Saddles. RIP Gene
Sad news Gene. Brilliant fellow.
I feel as sad as this news as I did when Walter Matthau died.
RIP Mr Wilder and hope you Ms Radner is waiting with open arms.
Such a shame, he gave me so many laughs. RIP. One of my favourite scenes from a film full of so much humour.....
F.T.F.A.
RIP Gene Wilder, comedy genius
Great man. I heard today that he'd known he was seriously sick for a while but didn't want to publicise it as he "didn't want to take any smiles from the world" RIP.
Sad times, Charlie & the Chocolate Factory is one of my all time favourites, for no other reason than the fun and nonsence of it. Iv had the jingle part of the Imagination song in my head all day...

When he's creasing up about nart feldman's antics on the "you take the blonde one , I'll take the one with the toibun" ....funniest thing I've seen.
Madeline Khan and Terri Gar having to control themselves is brilliant too.
