Gene Wilder, who passed away earlier this week is being honored at movie theaters nationwide this weekend including Rockford.

Fans of the famed actor can see a couple of Wilder's most popular flicks at AMC 16 in Rockford on Saturday September 3 and Sunday September 4.

Blazing Saddles along with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory can be seen both days. Wonka starts at 5 p.m. while Blazing Saddles kicks off at 7:30 p.m.

As a fan of both movies, I would have a difficult decision deciding which of the two to see. I guess I'd have to see both.

Get Wonka tickets here, Blazing Saddles here.
