For all of us with a cinematic sweet tooth - come revisit Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, starring Gene Wilder as the reclusive genius chocolatier, as five lucky children cash in their golden tickets.

Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) starts a world-wide frenzy with the announcement that five golden tickets to see inside his top-secret Chocolate Factory are hidden inside the wrappers of his chocolate bars.

Among the five lucky winners is Charlie Bucket, a sweet boy from a poor family, who finds the last golden ticket. Along with his Grandpa Joe, and the other winners, they enter Wonka's world of Oompa Loompa's, chocolate rivers and lickable wallpaper, with a few bad eggs along the way.

This wild, imaginative adaptation of Roald Dahl’s essential novel remains a childhood classic to this day with a musical soundtrack all ages can enjoy.
