Boise Classic Movies Honor Gene Wilder

Gene Wilder fame as Willy Wonka extends far beyond the internet memes you've seen of his character on Facebook. Go back to a world of pure imagination, Oompa Loompas and Everlasting Gobstoppers at the Egyptian Theater this weekend.

Boise Classic Movies has put together two special showings of Gene Wilder movies to honor the actor who passed away earlier this week from complications due to Alzheimer's Disease. They're scheduled at the Egyptian Theater for this Saturday following the Boise State vs Louisiana Lafayette game and tickets are just $9.
