What else to say? My amazement is generational, but finding out more about the film makes it even better. Let's just say this may be the greatest film ever made to promote a corporate candy bar, which ultimately melted. Gene Wilder, Best. Wonka. Ever.

In 2023, the film seems dated, so it's best for younger children or adults who want whimsical nostalgia. Gene Wilder makes the mold for a Wonka that is more approachable than Johnny Depp's and allows for the possibility of Timothée Chalamet's.

A timeless classic with an all-time performance from Gene Wilder. This film is a marvel: weird, occasionally terrifying and visually wonderful. That chocolate lake looks disgusting, though.
