Gene Wilder was one funny man, his movies with Richard Pryor were pretty good but he could have retired after blazing saddles and still been a legend . Didn't he have to give away acting because he lost his hearing?</p></blockquote>

He was a pretty good Willy Wonka too. Much better than the bizarre Michael Jackson creature depicted by Depp.<br><br>
See no evil hear no evil is pretty bloody funny. -

<p>From IMDB....</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The role of Bart was intended for <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001640'>Richard Pryor</a>, but due to the controversial nature of Pryor's stand-up routines of the day and his background, <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000316'>Mel Brooks</a> couldn't secure financing for the project with Pryor in that role. So Pryor was made a co-writer of the script, and <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001476'>Cleavon Little</a> played Bart. Pryor later got to star in a different western comedy - <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072604'>Adiós Amigo</a> (1976). </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think the bloke who did play Bart did an awesome job though even though I never saw him in anything else, him and Wilder were fucken classic....</p>

Cleavon Little is cool.

<p>Delirious is absolutely hilarious. But his career would be dead if he said a lot of those things now.</p>

<p>alltime:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>1 Borat</p>
<p>2 Raw</p>
<p>3 Delirious</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*bonus points for watching Borat on a plane and the little kid across the aisle from me, and one row in front, who was also watching it, and who unwittingly decided to pause it for his 30-minute lunchtime right at Borat's epic bedroom wrestling scene with hairy ox-man manager. So hungry right now</p>

<p>You won't find one iota of an argument about 2 and 3 ( I didn't bother with them as they're not "movies" as such ? ) but I personally found Borat ( like all SBC's work ) has just as many cringey WTF moments as genuine comedy.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Eddie is ( or rather was ) a deadset stand up comedy genius, I don't know a single bloke my age who doesn't love those two concerts but I for one would be interested how he'd go today over 30 years since his heyday.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Richard Pryors stand up is probably just as good to be honest, Youtube has some awesome stuff on it ( and Eddie freely admits to stealing so much of his material ), as good as he is though I agree, I can't see him doing Sheriff Bart as well as Cleavon Little did.</p> -

<p>I'll give you Rambo, or to be accurate, First Blood, but all those that followed were very poor IMO.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rocky and Rocky II are very good and the last one, Creed, which was quite surprisingly good. TBO, I didn't mind the second to last either, Rocky Balboa but III, IV and V are really shit.</p> -

<p>The last Rambo was one of the best action films of its era. Probably had the best fatalities for a long time.</p>

<p>The jeep mounted gun into red liquid death was just incredible.</p> -
<p>Armageddon</p>
<p>Princess Bride</p>
<p>Independence Day</p>
<p>Remember the Titans</p>
<p>Highlander</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Might swap in Predator or Aliens for once of the above. Depends on my mood.</p> -
