Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory - you know, the one with Gene Wilder - used to play once a year on TV when I was a kid. Only once, and I relished every delicious moment.

Chocolate Galore in a Fantasy Movie Feast

Pros Music, Visuals, Cast, Directing

Many of them, even if they manage to pull together a semi- believable plot and a good cast of Hollywood actors and actresses, are often childish, silly, and devoid of anything meaningful or memorable. A short time after I view one of these... Read full review »

(07/28/2005, p.92, Peter Travers): "Tim Burton surrounds Depp with miraculous visuals of spun sugar and creeping menace. Their missionary lunacy is a treat for twisted children of all ages."
