A fun trippy and weird movie. Gene Wilder is great, and I think it’s worth watching just for him.

I grew up watching this film. It showed me a side of cinema I will never forget along with Gene Wilder’s magnificently eclectic performance.

Gene Wilder is absolutely excellent in this! A v fun, campy, ridiculous & sometimes even a bit creepy take on Willy Wonka. So worth a watch!

based on the book by Roald Dahl. A perfect show of Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka, a characterisation that is charming &funny at the same time.

Gene Wilder is the devilish glint in the windshield of this majestic emotional Rollercoaster that swirls in whimsy from the get-go.

Whimsical and hilarious, Gene Wilder brings this character to life. This is the definitive Willy Wonka.

I love how it’s fun but a little creepy. Musical but not too musical. Just tons of iconic imagery and moments. Captures Roald Dahl’s spirit.
