Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

1971

Eccentric candy man Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) prompts a worldwide frenzy when he announces that golden tickets hidden inside five of his delicious candy bars will admit their lucky holders (including Peter Ostrum and Jack Albertson) into his top-secret confectionary. But does Wonka have an agenda hidden amid a world of Oompa Loompas and chocolate rivers? Mel Stuart directs this Oscar-nominated fantasy based on Roald Dahl's award-winning book.

It's everybody's non-pollutionary, anti-institutionary, pro-confectionery factory of fun!
