There are very few films that no matter how many times I've watched it, it never gets old, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is one of them..

Rest In Peace..

Sad news... A brilliant actor.

"You win NOTHING, you get NOTHING..."

Should have won an Oscar for that scene alone.

Well that or Hear no Evil, See no Evil.

The word genius is often used incorrectly in my opinion When referring to actors, however in this case it is fully deserved, Gene Wilder was a comic / acting genius who brought joy to millions. RIP.

I did once stand outside Windsor Castle and said to my companion on that occasion "I can't believe the Queen Mother's still going after all these years, surely her time must be nearly up" (or words to that effect).

Walked back to the car, turned the engine on, and over the radio came the solemn words "Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, has died at the age of [whatever]".

Don't mention this to the Queen, if you ever meet her, yeah?
