Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory
This has always been one of my favorite movies. The back reads:

The one-and-only Willy Wonka "makes the world taste good" for a whole new generation in this magical family classic sparkling with brilliantly restored picture and sound! Also included is the all-new documentary "Pure Imagination", featuring interviews with Gene Wilder and the Wonka kids and revealing production secrets from the movie!

When they find prized Golden Tickets inside their Wonka candy bars, five lucky children win a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the legendary candy factory run by the mysterious Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder). Now, on a whirlwind tour of Willy's incredible, edible realm of milk chocolate waterfalls, elfish Oompa-Loompas and industrial-sized sugar-coated creations, one very special boy will discover the sweetest secret of all: a generous, loving heart.

I have always really loved this movie, and it was the film that made me come to love Gene Wilder. Being the first movie I'd ever seen with him in it, I couldn't and still can't get enough. As a child I always loved it, though some of the scenes were quite frightening (which my sister readily agreed upon! Though it didn't stop her from asking if she could see it again a short three days later!). Now, no longer frightening, it is still a treat to sit back and watch a magical world unfold infront of my very eyes. Hasn't everyone just wanted to walk into a room made of candy and eat to their hearts desire? Or was that just me? I'm seriously doubting that...
