This was my ALL TIME favorite movie as a kid. I literally would watch it on repeat. It also is a GREAT book.

Nothing beats the original. I love the funkadelic 70s effects and Gene Wilder's disturbing mood swings. Plus, I want the lickable wallpaper

the old school one...where the oompa loompas were actually scary.

Willy Wonka is just a great movie. Here is the basis of the movie:

The world is astounded when Willy Wonka, for years a recluse in his factory, announces that five lucky people will be given a tour of the factory, shown all the secrets of his amazing candy, and one will win a lifetime supply of Wonka chocolate. Nobody wants the prize more than young Charlie, but as his family is so poor that buying even one bar of chocolate is a treat, buying enough bars to find one of the five golden tickets is unlikely in the extreme. But in movieland, magic can happen. Charlie, along with four somewhat odious other children, get the chance of a lifetime and a tour of the factory. Along the way, mild disasters befall each of the odious children, but can Charlie beat the odds and grab the brass ring? (via Amazon)

Sometimes, all you need is a slightly menacing man frolicking about in a velvet suit slowly killing off a tour group of children. No? How about some candy, then? Theeeere you go.
