"An unforgettable classic!"

"Loved this movie growing up and it's still as good today as it was when I first saw it 27 years ago. I would encourage everyone to watch this movie because it's perfect whether you are young or old."

"THE WORLD OF MAGIC"

"Anyone could love this film and I don't see how you couldn't fall in love with Willy Wonka. This is without a doubt one of the most charming movies of all time that is still to this day one of the most enjoyed movies for a family night. Despite it's dark little messages, it still made light of everything and made this movie "satisfying and delicious".

You'll see a world of pure imagination and will absolutely fall for Willy Wonka. Gene Wilder is a comedic genius who will forever be the timeless Willy Wonka. He played it so well and made it look so easy. All the kids were amazing as well, I mean the boy who played Charlie was so adorable and you felt so awful for him. You just wished for his deepest wishes to come true. The sets are also just fantastic and so yummy to look at. On of my favorite scenes was with the "inventing room", all the amazing gizzmo's. I also loved how we took a peek into Wonka's madness when he throws a shoe into a boiling water pot and says "It gives it a little kick". One of my favorite lines of all time is "Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker".

The film is not only great to look at but it has terrific and catchy songs that will be stuck in your head and find yourself humming down the street. This is going to be a timeless classic that I can't wait to show my future children."

"A magical landmark in film hstory."

"Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory is a magical movie, like the wizard of oz before it, it brings us into a world of magic. I grew up with the original Roald Dahl book, and I can’t imagine a better adaption.

It might not be high art or anything, but it is of a film genre that is nearly dead, movies that try to show you something magical. Some of the original filmmakers were magicians, they used motion pictures to enchant and amaze audiences, and that is exactly what this movie does.

I truly love this film, and though it isn’t perfect, it makes the world a sweeter place. That alone is enough to give it praise."
