Synopsis

Promoted as a family musical by Paramount Pictures, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is more of a black comedy, perversely faithful to the spirit of Roald Dahl’s original book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. –amctv

Full of genuine imagination, creative songs, & a standout performance by Wilder, this is a perfect fantasy film despite not being completely accurate to the book.

Probably one of my favourite movies from my childhood, Gene Wilder will always be Willy Wonka in my eyes.
