- Young Frankenstein. Finally we arrive at the all-time comedy classic, "Young Frankenstein" (1974), an insanely silly spoof that stars Gene Wilder as the titular Dr. Frederick Frankenstein, grandson of the infamous "Victor Frankenstein" of both novels and films.
- Blazing Saddles. Speaking of brazen satires, seven years after making fun of Nazis in "The Producers," Mel Brooks would re-team with Wilder for a most brazen "satire of racism," "Blazing Saddles" (1974), which parodies Hollywood Westerns and their whitewashed version of history.
- The Producers. Film critic Roger Ebert called "The Producers" (1967) "one of the funniest movies ever made," and it's undoubtedly true, although the same can and has been said of all three of the classic comedies that teamed Gene Wilder with writer/director and master satirist, Mel Brooks, of which "The Producers" was the first.
- Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. Easily Gene Wilder's most iconic role is that of the titular enigmatic candy factory owner in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" (1971).
