So weird. I was just watching clips of "Willy Wonka" on YouTube yesterday. Hadn't seen that move since I was a child and better appreciated his fine acting when I became an adult.

In all the movies I've seen him in, he was pretty brilliant.

Gene Wilder brought Willie Wonka & the Chocolate Factory to life. Without him, it would never have been the hit that it was. Johnny Depp was just too weird in that character but that was probably due to Tim Burton’s inherent weirdness and direction.
