Does anyone else out there consider this to be a classic? --Lauren--

Does seeing it five times count as a vote for believing it to be a classic ?? I loved Wilder, the HumpaLumpas, the whole schmeer. _ Peter Benson | ITT Defense Communications Division (619)578-3080 | 10060 Carroll Canyon Road decvax!ittvax!dcdwest!benson | San Diego, CA 92131 ucbvax!sdcsvax!dcdwest!benson | -- _ Peter Benson | ITT Defense Communications Division (619)578-3080 | 10060 Carroll Canyon Road decvax!ittvax!dcdwest!benson | San Diego, CA 92131 ucbvax!sdcsvax!dcdwest!benson |

"You will live in Happiness, too, Like the Oompah-loompah Loompah-tee-doo!" Absolutely, as a kid I found this a **much** more magical movie than "The Wizard of Oz"; a bit more dark (some of the things happening to the kids gave me the willies (har! har!)), but that increases the fun. Dahl is well known as both a children's writer and a horror writer... I find that interesting (he also did the screenplay for a James Bond movie). But a really delightful movie (whoever cast Gene Wilder is a genius).

I'd watch this movie but there is little to do and so much time to do it in (stop, reverse that). -Ron

As a kid I read the book (and enjoyed it!), and got the soundtrack record as a gift (thought at the time that it was overly cutesy, but I was a precocious little monster; later I learned to enjoy it)... But believe it or not, I never saw the movie. Darn. How does it compare to the book? (By mail, please!) -- just one of the wolves this computer's been thrown to... Stewart Wiener / Princeton Univ.

I didn't see this movie until I was a sophomore in college (1976), but I
was thoroughly entertained! The comedy was first rate, and I loved the
Oompah-loompahs and their songs. Gene Wilder was sooooo lovable as Willy
Wonka.
