Movie #3384 ........................."Remembering Gene Wilder" (Netflix documentary)

 Movie #3384 "Remembering Gene Wilder" (Netflix documentary)  Are you looking for a very entertaining documentary on someone like Gene Wilder, well look no more because this is one of the best documentaries I have seen in a long time.  It moves well from one movie project to the next using oftentimes Gene Wilder's narration --- with his narration, with various film clips, with famous people making comments on him, the film moves swiftly, honestly and sometimes whimsically through this wonderfully talented man's life.  I thought I knew a lot about him, but I was wrong.  And the backstories to some of the most favorite scenes in film history are insightful and amusing ---- just like the man himself.  This was a WOW documentary, and even if you don't know much about this man, it's worth the time to watch him in action. I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5.
