Big black woman, on Halloween : Who are you supposed to be, The Mad Hatter? Guy : I'm Willy Wonka. Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka from the seventies. Big black woman : Oh, I never would have known. You know, what you need is an accessory, a prop. Guy : Like what? I look just like him! Big black woman : You need a chocolate woman on your arm. --Jack Dempsey's Pub

Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (1971) Diredtor: Mel Stuart Cast: Gene Wilder, Peter Ostrum, Jack Albertson Memorable Line: "Invention, my dear friends, is 93% perspiration, 6% electricity, 4% evaporation, and 2% butterscotch ripple." Adapted from the book by Roald Dahl, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory is a movie that is both enjoyable and intriguing. The enjoyment comes from the psychedelic treatment of sets and costumes and the intrigue comes from Gene Wilder's unique... Read Full Story
Not taking anything away from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory but I think I liked this original from 1971 just a tad bit better. Perhaps it's because with new version I knew what to expect so I was prepared for these children to be brats and get into trouble. Plus I've always loved Gene Wilder and he was great as usual in this movie. Charlie (Peter Ostrum) and Grandpa Joe (Jack Albertson) dream about finding the one of the lucky golden winning wrappers in Willy Wonka's contest. When... Read Full Story

Veteran comedian Gene Wilder has called on Hollywood to cut back on excessive swearing in films. The Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory star is fed up with hearing curse words in modern movies, and wishes writers would try and pen less predictable dialog that relies more on invention than vulgarity.

Every now and then I just like to curl up with a mug of coffee in one hand, TV remote in the other and drift back to a time when the most violent thing children did was sneeze and no-one had even heard of Burger King or McDonalds. That's exactly what I've been doing today as I stepped back a little over thirty years to Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory . It's only with the benefit of hindsight that you realise just how wholesome the original version, starring Gene Wilder, actually was. I... Read Full Story

This one has me utterly stymied.
A horror version of Willy Wonka. While the other two Wonka incarnations (”Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory,” [1971] “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” [2005]) had many a creepy moment, I suppose a turn like this was inevitable.
