Your thoughts on this movie....

A poor but hopeful boy seeks one of the five coveted golden tickets that will send him on a tour of Willy Wonka's mysterious chocolate factory.

A classic. That moment when Wilder hobbles towards the gate then falls forward quickly turning into a roll.

And pure imagination is perfect.

Before I read the book, I thought Wonka killed all the misbehaving kids. Then I read the book, where it was revealed that all the kids survived, and I was like, "Dang it, movie! You made me think Wonka killed all those kids!"

Good times.

I heard a story that Fred Astaire had campaigned for the roll of Willy Wonka. Might have been an interesting alternative.

If anyone is interested, my brother and I did a commentary on this movie recently. We couldn't actually show the entire movie because of copyright infringement, so you have to play your own copy simultaneously, and the video provides clips every ten minutes or so to make sure you are synced up correctly.

Also, be warned; Although this is intended to be a positive review of the film, my brother and I do not regard this film as sacred, and therefore make quite a few jokes about some of the stuff that we didn't like in it. So if you consider this to be an absolutely perfect film with no flaws whatsoever, this is not the video for you. There is also a bit of profanity (though nothing too bad).

Here it is if you want to listen to it:
