    Archived from the IMDb Discussion Forums — Young Frankenstein

    He was a dynamo in most of his work.
    Not to take away from Wonka, Bloom, and The Waco Kid, but Dr. Frederick Frankenstein is I think his greatest role and performance.

        Yes,it was. Blazing Saddles was another great comedy, but actually as the Waco Kid, that was his most subdued role.

          The Producers remains my favorite comedy ever.
          I've been having a Gene Wilder Marathon over the weekend and I'm surprised at how much is funnier than I remembered.

          "Nowhere special."

            Love Gene Wilder in everything he's in. Such a gifted actor, there's no one like him.
            My favorite of his performances is George Caldwell from Silver Streak. Very underrated. He does sort of a comedic Cary Grant, and does it to perfection.

              Silver Streak, the first Wilder/Pryor pairing, is a good action/comedy. I think it not all that well-known.

                I think his greatest role and performance.
                I believe he claimed it as such, himself. It ticks all the boxes for classic Wilder.

                  I think it is one of the great performances in any comedy ever and worthy of an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.

                    Can't pick his best performance because they were all exceptional.
