A classic movie that everyone should watch at least once. This film is filled with pure imagination, I love how it's slightly dark but still full of whimsy!

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a timeless kids movie. It has just the right amount of creepy elements and humor that it can be enjoyed by adults as well. Gene Wilder is perfect as the outlandish chocolate maker and all the songs are engraved into my brain. There are some outstanding set pieces and the crew was able to bring the chocolate factory to life.

If the obits are anything to go by, Gene Wilder had a prolific career but he is first and foremost Willy Wonka. This is not without reason. There are few more memorable and enchanting performances than this one. He is warm, charismatic and intelligent while being slightly unhinged, possibly mad. Despite being based on a character in the Roald Dahl novel, it’s Wilder who really makes Wonka a name familiar to all, even 40+ years after the film was made. This is bolstered by some of the most creative set design work ever put to film. The main room in the factory is just so colourful and tactile - you want it to be real. The way Wonka glides around during his musical number makes you feel like he’s been there all his life. It’s the perfect cocktail of happiness, madness, warmth and danger; easily one of the greatest films ever made. Rest in peace Mr. Wonka. http://benoliver999.com/film/2016/09/04/willywonkaandthechocolatefactory/

**Much better than the 2005 film, but I still think it would be more interesting as an animated film.**

When I saw the 2005 film, starring Johnny Depp, I was not satisfied at all: the film seemed more effective as an animation than as a conventional CGI loaded film. However, I was unfamiliar with More

Hadn't seen this one in many years, maybe last time was back in high school 20+ years ago. Delightful musical-comedy featuring the great Gene Wilder and deadpan, sarcastic humor that I immensely loved. Also the production design was excellent and musical numbers, including the catchy Oompa songs wer More

Yeah, it's a lot better than the Johnny Depp version isn't it? Probably because this one is fun and entertaining and the Depp one was was a Tim Burton film and felt kind of pretentious didn't it?

Clearly this version doesn't look as visually pleasing, but it makes up for that in earnest heart, a More
