Review of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) by Dr. F P — 16 Mar 2013

I used to watch this all the time as a kid, constantly making jokes about Veruca Salt's weird ass name. I also love the edible/lickable wallpaper. Gene Wilder's Wonka is also a little scary, he comes off as someone who's about to snap, a repressed man with a personality disorder, I guess he sort of does towards the end but seriously if you think about it, he's actually a serial killer with a chocolate factory house of horrors.

One thing that I don't particularly like about this is the musical aspect, the songs are quite boring in my opinion and sound ancient but the boat scene is classic.
