August 29, 201610 yr Had to go looking for this thread, which I guess is a good thing that it hasn't been posted in for some time. Jerome Silberman aka Gene Wilder. The most iconic, best Willy Wonka ever.

The most iconic, best Willy Wonka ever.Luckily because of the internet, he'll always be remembered with the millions of Wonka condescending memes out there. LOVED him in Willy Wonka. A movie I've seen, oh about 200 times.

August 29, 201610 yr Gene Wilder was a treasure, I'm sad his career wasn't longer. The man was brilliant.

August 30, 201610 yr I thought that was just a product of Canadian educationNo, that helped mould my inferiority complex.
August 30, 201610 yr This scene set the tone for the rest of the movie that Willy Wonka was full of mystery, and things you'll see may be pure imagination. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sz9jc5blzRM

November 14, 201610 yr The year of musicians continues... Leon Russell passes away at 74 years old. I'll need to look into what kind of music he wrote and played.
November 14, 201610 yr The year of musicians continues... Leon Russell passes away at 74 years old. I'll need to look into what kind of music he wrote and played. The Master of Space and Time. This is a shame. Look no further than Mad Dogs and Englishmen. His honkytonk cover of Girl from the North Country ought to get you started.
