Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (30th Anniversary Edition)
: essential video:Having proven itself as a favorite film of children around the world, Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory is every bit as entertaining now as it was when originally released in 1971. There's a timeless appeal to Roald Dahl's classic children's novel, which was playfully preserved in this charming musical, from the colorful carnival-like splendor of its production design to the infectious melody of the 'Oompah-Loompah' songs that punctuate the story. Who can forget those diminutive Oompah-Loompah workers who recite rhyming parental warnings ('Oompah-Loompah, doopity do...') whenever some mischievous child has ...

Four Days in November

Even more unexpected are ...
