I forgot so many hilarious things about it.

The Queen of England showing up at an auction for the last box of Wonka bars.

Charlie's schoolteacher.

The detective telling a grieving woman that her husband has been kidnapped and wants her last Wonka bar as a ransom and her saying she'll "think about it".

The creepy scarfaced dude who approaches all the children on live tv to whisper in their ear.

The candy boat ride that nightmares are made of.

Gene freakin' Wilder.

What a movie.

I've come to the realization that the half of the movie before they get to the chocolate factory is actually the better half.

Yeah, that was a really weird movie.

Amazingly, the kid that played Charlie never acted in another movie.

I found it odd how the movie promotes smoking, especially for an elder within a poor family. Of course the film is from 1971 and the Surgeon General's warning was another 13 years away.

I've also heard Roald Dahl hated the film.

Wouldn't surprise me. The book is far too whimsical to be perfectly true to form. And the sequel would've been impossible to pull off in 1971.

Wilder nails all the putdowns to the kids as well.

Wonka: "This little piece of gum is a 3 course dinner."
Mr. Salt: "Bull..."
Wonka: "No, roast beef, but I haven't got it quite right yet."

The first guy was an employee who was immediately fired, the 2nd guy owned the place and was still upset he missed out on all that money.

It's such a great movie. I just really enjoy every aspect of it. Music is super memorable, lots of good jokes, Wilder absolutely kills it.

The Tim Burton film is pretty much a massive turd in comparison

I actually don't hate the Burton film. It's certainly not as good as the original, but it's not loathsome or anything.

Grandpa Joe gets too much hate. He did his work and retired then wanted to spend the rest of his life in a bed until there was something fun to do.

I'm sure the FDA would shut down the factory long before any of those other things could be discovered.
