Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory
Top 10 reasons why “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” belongs on every Christian family’s must-see list:
It is based on Roald Dahl’s classic children’s book with timeless “message” that easily carries over to Bible stories.
Vintage ’s camera tricks. Recent films like “Austin Powers” and the tacky action-movie sequence in “Boogie Nights” parody it—this is the genuine article.
Numerous social themes, most prominently the need for parental discipline.
Good performance by Gene Wilder as Mr. Wonka himself, the eccentric candy man who loves kids (but not greedy kids).
An even better performance by Julia Dawn Cole as Veruca Salt, the spoiled rich girl who wants everything. Really fun to watch.
And the rest of the cast is still unknown, more than twenty-five years after its release.
The Oompa-Loompas, the funny little chocolate workers.
Terrible special effects. “Willy Wonka” gets your suspension of disbelief the old-fashioned way: It EARNS it. (That’s no mud bog, it’s a chocolate waterfall.)
One of the last “musicals” released by a Hollywood studio, “Willy Wonka” got an Oscar nomination for the music.
It’s a fun movie.

Against Dahl's wishes, changes were made to the story, and other decisions made by the director led Dahl to disown the film. The musical numbers were written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley while Walter Scharf arranged and conducted the orchestral score.
