And I wonder how kids watching it now relate to Charlie seeing walking around town alone and at night when they've grown up on leashes?<br /><br />https://youtu.be/3Wz3rE3uE28Kathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-36718304663348403112016-11-22T18:22:42.814-06:002016-11-22T18:22:42.814-06:00I saw this when I was maybe 6 or 7 and movies were...I saw this when I was maybe 6 or 7 and movies weren't movies, they were actual things that were really happening in front of me as I watched.

It was one of the couple dozen films I had a recording of on VHS as a kid (I believe on the same tape as <em>Great Muppet Caper</em> and <em>Race For Your Life, Charlie Brown</em>). This introduction to Gene Wilder led me to <em>Blazing Saddles</em>, <em>Young Frankenstein</em>, and beyond. Not enough can be said about Wilder in this picture. You talk of "perfect movies", I'd give Wilder a "perfect performance" for his work as Willy Wonka.SmartyManhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05799597526676287848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-74620870444706699532016-11-22T16:09:45.649-06:002016-11-22T16:09:45.649-06:00This is also a movie I am incredibly thankful for....This is also a movie I am incredibly thankful for.
