"Young Frankenstein" (that's Frahnkensteen') has got to be the funniest movie I've ever watched.

A very funny guy. He was good with Pryor in 'See No Evil, Hear No Evil' too!

Oh, man. Sad. I loved this guy. Made me laugh, made me cry. Beautiful person.
Jim Carrey said it best:
Gene Wilder was one of the funniest and sweetest energies ever to take a human form. If there's a heaven he has a Golden Ticket. ;^)

Very very sad news. He seemed to be genuinely sincere and nice person.

So many great movies and great memories. A happy memory from one of his movies to remember him.
In springtime, the only pretty ring time, When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding; Sweet lovers love the spring (from Willy Wonka)

He was one of the most likable actors. He felt like a friend.

I grew up watching his old movies as if they were new releases. I did not realize he was 83. RIP

He was great in the Mel Brook's movies and also paired with his friend Richard Pryor. RIP

Great actor. RIP. Loved him in a number of movies besides Wonka. Sounds like he died surrounded by those he loved, but Alzheimer's's is so cruel.
