He made this into one of my absolute favorite movies
wildkatrn
I'M RELEVANT GUYS!
MustangGt43
This and every other movie he was in.

Gene Wilder and Donald Sutherland are my Older Gentleman crushes!
EthanW87
Had to watch this in English class because the director hinted that the film is biblical, where Willy Wonka is Jesus. The children are sin.

You know? I've never really appreciated just how beautiful that somersault really is until just now.
specklemuffins
+1 for Gene Wilder every time!
Cobaltios
There's also that infamous scene with him going, "you get NOTHING! YOU LOSE! GODDAY SIR!" Charlie's reaction was genuine.
rodski
Genius Wilder.
ivoryashes
I like to think that though Roald Dahl didn't like the movie, he liked Gene Wilder.
MyNoseKnows
Dahl hated this movie and if Dahl hates this movie then it's legit!
KrispyPotato
I love everything about this man and he made great contributions to every movie he was in. I just watched Young Frankenstein again
Ke1sey
Yet, Ronald Dahl hated the movie.
ThisCommentIsNowPropertyOfTheSontaranEmpire
I watched Young Frankenstein for the first time yesterday. I can confirm that Gene Wilder is indeed a genius.
Brionyrae
He never stopped being Willy Wonker

Gene Wilder was most certainly a genius

Yes, I realized this after I typed it lol

He's still alive.

Johnny Depp looks weird in this.
HueJanus
In my experience, Johnny Depp looks weird in everything.
GreenTeaParty
This movie should not have been remade. It is simply perfect, and yummy looking, and creepy, and perfect.
seanweinstein
is* a genius
standingidlyby
Gene Wilder in Blazzing Saddles is by far one of the greatest roles ever. Ever.
hockeyham
He was originally scripted to be Heddy Lamarr
standingidlyby
HEDLEY. HEDLEY!
kecker
Even better, he was a last minute change. He just walked in and absolutely fucking nailed it.
standingidlyby
Put your hands on either side of that chess piece. On the count of 3, GRAB IT. That ain't no contest man. You're a mile away!
PurpleThomas
*was* a genius? He's still alive!
francisbegbie
I almost died when I saw "was". Oh, my heart!
rekcilthis1
also, that scene where they were in the tunnel and he said 'we're all going to die'? yeah, that wasn't in the script.
TheCaptainRon
I thought I read somewhere more of that scene was improved by him. So them reacting to his poem was all just them reacting.
rekcilthis1
that's what I meant, but I didn't have room to say it.
TheCaptainRon
right on. either way it's the worlds creepiest scene and I love it.
iwantashortnameforonceohshit
seriously, I wanna youtube it to see their reactions now that I know all this, but it freaks me out too bad, unfortunately
Coyote8
I love pendulums song, through the loop. http://youtu.be/QZ9JT1WOGjk
WeAreScientists
Just rediscovered this album! Thanks!
skellious
"song" is a strong word...
AcclaimNation
Song. n. A short poem or other set of words set to music or meant to be sung. Literally the definition of what has happened in this track.
Coyote8
Voices = Song. Still technically correct, though I suppose "track" would suit you better.
skellious
I was referring to how un-like my choice of music this was :P
Coyote8
I've listened to the genre for 10 years, I've heard all the jokes. Hence my response. ;p
Megburger
He's a MADMAN. I love it. I'm sure Roald Dahl had him in mind when he wrote the book :P
rekcilthis1
or someone much like him.
liveelaaughloove
I read that Roald Dahl HATED that movie, and that he wanted someone else to play Wonka.
Megburger
That's crazy. He's just jealous.
jessicacupcake
why did he dislike it so much?
liveelaaughloove
Apparently he was brought onto the team to make the film, but his opinions were completely disregarded.
jessicacupcake
WOW. I would be so mad.
liveelaaughloove
In the end, he just didn't like the way things were portrayed.
YouKnowWhatMrBag
C'mon now people! I had a mini heart attack thinking Gene Wilder had died. Gene Wilder IS a genius. +1 for that great man.
Isrslylold
Right?! Dang, people need to get their tenses right.

OMG I LOVE it!!
Jennnanigans
RIGHT? I had the same reaction!
YouKnowWhatMrBag
Haha yeah mine went, "Was? WAS?! NOOOOOOOO!" and then I immediately googled him and started to breathe again
Jennnanigans
I sometimes think all celebrities need this: http://www.abevigoda.com/
YouKnowWhatMrBag
This would be absolutely ideal
ChinMusic
Didn't Roald Dahl hate this movie?
whig
He just thought it focused too much on Willy Wonka and not enough on Charlie.
HockeyOnImgurMakesMeHappy
Yeah, I think I heard that somewhere... but I might be wrong.
Affray
Try and find a writer who actually likes the movie adaptation of their book. Nigh impossible I say!
imacatsuckme
Harper Lee.
mwoodman
George RR Martin, but... it's a tv series, so I guess you could quibble
SayIAmYou
And he did the adaptation himself.
Antfarmz
Well...s/he did say "nigh."
soniawesome
Michael Crichton helped write the screen play for Jurassic Park BEFORE the book was even released.
ilovefacefuckingtacos
The one bitch who wrote Twilight
Affray
Nope on this one, she didn't even want to finish the books when it came to the last one.
ilovefacefuckingtacos
She shouldn't have even started!
Affray
Agreed, wholeheartedly good sir.
ToriHatesNames
Chuck Palahniuk actually prefers Fight Club the movie to his book.
yarfyarf
I think so, but it's because Willy Wonka ended up being the focus instead of Charlie. The child is supposed to be the hero, not Wonka.
serpentfly
I interpreted the movie as centering around willy wonka being saved by charlie. different from the book, but it's still present
yarfyarf
Yes, but Wonka is the one everyone remembers. He is the memorable character, not Charlie.
yarfyarf
The film's name was even changed to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
doyakuya
Yes, because it's nothing like his book. Tim Burton's version is 100x more similar to the novel than is the original movie.
OrangeSorcerer
To be honest, I did like Tim Burton's one better. I like a lot of his movies, and Christopher Lee was a big plus.
AlfredKapwn
And Tim Burton's version was 100x worse.
GeeEm
Besides making Willy Wonka an incredibly young dude.
nobodyeverpaysmeingum
I think a lot of what Tim Burton does is great, but i am tired of his Daddy Issues. Willy Wonka DID NOT HAVE DADDY ISSUES
weesmithy
It may be true that Burton's version was closer to the book in a lot of ways, but I still love the original more -- huge Dahl fan.
beardsandbeers
100x more like the book, but 100x worse as a film. Just terrible.
Unable
at this point in time if i ever see their names to promote a movie. I avoid it. they hit gold once after that they've been shoveling shit.
starryeyedq
Everybody hates on that version but I really enjoyed it. They're both totally different. People need to calm their nostalgia-rage-boners.
Kasofa
I laughed +1
WhoseDevelopmentIsArrestedAnyway
I agree! It's upsetting that people hate the second because of how "different" it is from the first, when the first was the "different" one.
OneDoesNotSimplyQwopIntoMordor
Nostalgia-rage-boners? This was the best thing I've seen all day. You win the internet today!
geekmonger
I am deeply upset to discover that people can get nostalgia-rage-boners.
JellybeansandBalogna
Correct me if I'm wrong because it's been a long time since I've read the book, but didn't Burton invent all of Wonka's past?
EmeraldWind
Actually... I think the two movies are both about the same compared to the book. They both have an equal amount of differences.
JellybeansandBalogna
I thought that, aside from Wonka's past where his father was a dentist, Burton's version was more accurate. But maybe I should revisit.
EmeraldWind
Sort of. The biggest thing was the squirrels which were changed out of necessity. But the newer version modernized a few things as well.
RiderDernhelm
there's a whole bit in another book about him growing up & his father was a dentist. the "differences" were just added from other dahl books
