This is one of the best movies ever. The special effects are unlike anything Hollywood does today and back then it probably took a lot more effort. It paid off in a big way. Gene Wilder was PERFECT as Willy Wonka and I loved all of the…

The 1971 film, burdened with an anti-boxoffice title, is an enduring cult favorite. It isn’t pushy, which is why it can take several viewings to really settle into the imagination. Like any clever confection it may seem light, but it…

Phenomenal movie with endearing, timeless morals. Way better than the 2005 crummy version.
Go watch "legal eagle" (s) video on YouTube where he breaks down how many years in prison W. Wonka would spend for his legal violations/crimes.

I can think of no better acting performance than Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka. I grew up watching (and being frightened of) this film. It's like a kids' introduction to the horror film genre (that tunnel boat scene!). My kids and wife weren't…

Great movie! Never gets old. We watch it over and over and still find it entertaining. Also like the Tim Burton version with Johnny Depp, but they are very different. Both are products of the times in which they were created. Wilder…

The two films define what you like better.
1971 "Gene Wilder"-Classic,Fun and heart warming.
2005"Johnny Depp"- Spooky,Visual stunning and funny.
None is better than the other, its Tim Burton or Mel Stuart.
Believe me - This totally asinine movie makes a really hideous statement about the underhanded ethics of the candy bar industry.
And, on top of that - I also think that this is an utterly nasty and horrible children's picture. If I had…
Yes. Indeed. Speaking about the likes of greed, gluttony, and the absolute grotesque - You can be sure, it's all here - Wrapped up into one deceitful, under-handed, little package that has Willy Wonka's chocolatey mess smeared all over…
I love this movie, I grew up watching it yes it has its cheesy moments what do you expect from this movie it was made so long ago. I watched the Johnny Depp one when it came out I like both equally, it is a family movie and a classic I…

I know this first adaptation of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is incredibly beloved by so many people. And there is a lot to love. The look of the film is whimsical and fun. Most of the child actors did a good job of portraying the…

The DVD package should read "For Kids of All Ages" because this is a movie that no one can resist. The reason it is so charming is Gene Wilder as Willie Wonka. He is having a contest that any child would love to win. One boy named…
