I love that you're covering all three Wonka films. "Pure Imagination", particularly the Wilder rendition. It instantly lets you know that you're in for a huge treat for both the eyes and ears, as you view the chocolate room for the first time.

[@KittenUndercover]

In the original, none of the actors had seen the main room before they shot so the looks of wonder on their faces are genuine.

[@eamonclark4952]

There isn’t a single bad song in Wonka they’re all memorable and catchy and fun to listen to. I’ve listened to the soundtrack non stop it’s that addicting. If I had choose a favorite it’d be Wonka and Noodle’s duet “For A Moment” it’s sweet and highlights Wonka’s friendship with Noodle

[@marcpasquinelli2548]

"You've Never Had Chocolate Like This" is also pretty wonderful. It's even on my gym playlist. lol

[@AhnaCraft10]

100% I say “You’ve Never Had Chocolate Like This” and “For A Moment” are my top favorites

[@mysticalkeyblade759]

Noodle noodle. Apple strudel! Some people don’t and some people doodle

[@aaronking4074]

My favourite two are A Hat Full of Dreams and Sweet Tooth.

[@mammott_msm2930]

Are you Charlie!?

[@SecukupAli]

What stopping you?

[@pdxaviation]

A Hat Full Of Dreams was such a brilliant opening song.

[@kitcobb6046]

It should be so much higher on the list!

[@kuraikage9871]

It is SO HARD for me to choose between Pure Imagination and A World of Your Own! Like MY GOD, what earworms! What absolute bangers!

[@quepow7840]

My fave from the 3 movies. 1. Oompa loopa violet version 2. Garbage chute/ verruca salt 3. Sweet tooth Bonus: Charlie and the chocolate factory musical. Must believed to be seen

[@ciarangleeson2880]

Speaking of Veruca’s song, how did the Oompa Loompas get their hands on that painting of her mum? I can never wrap my head around that!

[@LiamS51278]

The musical is top tier

[@Kaedenfc]

I agree with this , apart from my 1. would be pure imagination

[@Draven_starboy]

1: Violet Beauregard (2005) 2: pure imagination 3: juicy (musical, replaced with "you got what you want")

[@MochaSugar50658]

Damn, you did Wonka's Welcome dirty. I'd consider it one of the best, considering it tells you so much about Wonka before you even meet him. Also it really banged.

[@marshalloverturf9040]

Meh, I think the lighter tone they went with in the original fits with it more. That’s exemplified in wonkas welcome song compared to the fake out backflip in the original

[@dreamguardian8320]

Pure Imagination number 1, why am not surprised? Cheer Up Charlie is truly a touching song, it makes me imagine my mom singing a lullaby like this to me as a baby.

[@Drawboy66]

When I came home from the theater after seeing Wonka, I couldn't stop listening to the soundtrack! They are all so good!

[@cassandraconnell2513]

Seriously Deep Roy doesn't get enough credit for his work on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Every time you see an Oompa Loompa on screen, is a singular shot of Roy, aka hundreds of takes. On top of that, he had to learn to sing, dance and play dozens of instruments and skills. He literally did the work of dozens of people and you can't even really tell in the film by how flawlessly everything comes together. Bravo Deep Roy!

[@cynsha]

The songs from the new Wonka movie have found a permanent place in my heart. I adore these songs, all of them including the ones adapted from the 1971 version. Beautiful, everyone of them.

[@Animeguy300]

I love the songs from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because they created the lyrics for the characters

[@JamesDavy2009]

They were also direct from the book.

[@marshalloverturf9040]

Yeah but it’s kind of a dark tone isn’t it?

[@atasker7432]

23:20 If you were to ask me, "Pure Imagination" perfectly describes ALL of Roald Dahl's stories.

[@ashleighshaven]

You've never had chocolate like thisssss 🥰🎶 had me dancing in the theater and days after. Def 2nd place for me after "Pure Imagination" 💜🍫

[@Alfdog-qw5bd]

Fun fact : The sovereign that wonka throws that ends up in a drain is the once Charlie finds to buy the wonka bar with the golden ticket

[@AlinaMorsbach-qq9su]

Was it in the first film? Because in "Wonka" it was a coin and in the film from 2005 I watched it was a banknote

[@shaggyirl]

@@AlinaMorsbach-qq9suin the original movie it was a coin

[@0428733]

Doubt it, almost 20 years in a gutter a coin wouldn't be.

[@jameswheeler6079]

I think I liked the newer Wonka movie better than the last two, especially because of the actor who played the role of Willy Wonka, he's so adorable and his singing is unmatched!

[@thedudefromthething2320]

Man i love a world of your own, no i love EVERY SINGLE SONG IN WONKA

[@caseydonnelly9381]

My List of how it was suppose to be 1. Pure Imagination (Willy) 2. World of Your Own (Wonka) 3. All the Oompa Loompa Songs (Willy/Wonka) 4. For a Moment (Wonka) 5. The Candy Man (Willy) 6. I've Got a Golden Ticket (Willy) 7. You Never Had Chocolate Like This (Wonka) 8. Scrub Scrub (Wonka) (such an earworm, and can't stop laughing everytime) 9. Cheer Up Charlie (Willy) 10. I Want It Now (Willy) Honorable Mentions: Sweet Tooth, Hatful of Dreams, Violet's Song (Charlie) Sorry that there's no Charlie Songs on this list. Its cause that after Decades has past, and also cause of songs from Wonka came along shortly afterwards, its kind of easy to see what it has become. (Wonka's 2023 choices are very catchy/comforting/and fun all at the same time. Tim Burton's Version is still good, but comparing to all 3 Wonka Films 1. Willy 1971 2. Wonka 2023, 3. Charlie 2005 And Honestly, 6-10 can be mixed up anytime. The same way goes for 1-5, besides Pure Imagination, and World of your own. Timothee is such an Amazing/Astonishing Singer to listen to everytime.

[@williamfairchild7439]

My favourite is You've Never Had Chocolate Like This from Wonka

[@markclare5222]

Just saw the lastest film it was great.

Nothing beats the oompa loopma songs.

Love this!!! Willy Wonka (1970) has been an all time FAVORITE film of mine for YEARS and no better pick for #1 then Pure Imagination it captures Wonka’s essence PERFECTLY!! If I were making a list of songs from the Wonka franchise it would be my #1 too it’s my absolute FAVORITE and Gene singing it is MAGICAL

[@WaffleyTime]

SAME JEAN WILDER CAPTURES HIM SO WELL then Johnny deep is just like a socially awkward and funny one and then Timothy chalamet did much better than I expected lol

[@WaffleyTime]

*gene

[@alexhidalgo7110]

Willy wonka is my favorite

[@sagev.5818]

I love all of the songs in all 3 movies!! My favorites though are Pure Imagination (both versions), For A Moment, A Hatful of Dreams, and You’ve Never Had Chocolate Like This (Hoverchocs & the longer version)!

[@lianetallo4866]

I just love the world of Charlie and the choc factory sm 😭😭 wonka is one of the best films I’ve ever seen and, as a Brit, I love sweet tooth SO MUCH bc of fickelgruber / mathew baynton

[@CreativeSteve69]

I maybe the minority but I couldn't get into the gene wilder version of wonka growing up watching it on dvd. It was just to slow for my taste as a kid. But i did highly enjoyed the johny deep version and the 2023 version one. to me were both masterpieces. Loved how the 2023 version was a homage to both films the gene wilder and deep versions throughout including in the songs, as well. I also loved how the 2023 version take was the people behind Paddington crew who did it phonamilly and take of it being kid wonka as a prequel take on the story. makes me want the team to do with a sequel with the same cast with new characters for 2025.

[@SpookInSlot]

man i love the Gene Wilder version so much

[@SkylarPurefallSSO19]

[@marshalloverturf9040]

Preach

[@chibiquinn4128]

honestly for me Wonkas welcome song is ranked way higher. its just going inside the brain i love it 😂 so iconic! also its the moment we first see willy wonka in this movie

[@IAmSweetPea]

Cheer Up Charlie kills the pacing. If there were 21 songs total, I wouldn’t have expected to see it on this list much less 19.

[@Boundwithflame23]

“I Want It Now” being filmed on Julie’s birthday is extremely fitting for the song I vaguely remember her mentioning in the dvd commentary how the retakes were because of the boxes she kicks not falling over like they wanted. I think. It was something to do with the boxes. Edit a couple days later because I rewatched the movie with commentary: what she said about the boxes is that they had to be re-stacked the same way for every re-take to maintain continuity.

[@inegozamora168]

My favorite songs from willy wonka movies are Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory 1971 1.Candy man 2.Cheer up Charlie 3.I've Got a Golden Ticket 4.Pure imagination(1971 version) I little bit like the want song and oompa loompa songs too Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate 2005 Little bit like willy wonka theme song and oomp loompa songs too(but the loompa songs were catchie) Wonka 2023 I like all the songs. The lyrics of the songs were so written and amazing. But keep a little sercet. my top favorite songs were a world of our own and pure imagination(2023 version)(and the 2023 version of the 2 oompa loompa songs)

[@jenselinsky6734]

I'm not a parent, but I must admit "Cheer Up, Charlie" makes my eyes misty.

[@Thelightning1out]

Out of every song in the willy wonka franchise, pure imagination is the best

[@ethanhart129]

Veruca Salt (2005) is my absolute favorite

[@olvialee7221]

My dad’s two favorites are I’ve Got An Golden Ticket and Pure Imagination. For me, it’s 2023’s Pure Imagination

[@camdencoblentz3245]

I too preferred the newer version of Pure Imagination. It's likely a hot take, but I enjoy its more upbeat tone, and Timothee Chalamet is definitely more of a singer, though I still like Gene Wilder's version as well.

[@ericminerv]

One of my favorite books as a child, and when i saw an old video of the first movie, its been with me ever since. Loved this. Of course that is number 1.

[@robinsims9286]

[@RxseReyn]

Honestly, the Willy Wonka song in the Johnny Depp version is kinda traumatizing. Whereas the the Gene Wilder is heartwarming and dark which is always a good combo.

[@spongebobcoolduke1537]

The 2005 version is actually the better movie and adaptation than the original version since it is more faithful to the book and Tim Burton was the perfect director. The 2005 version deserves more love and recognition since a lot of care was put into this adaptation.

[@mrdante361]

Yes the 2005 is the best. There is an interview with Tim Burton talking about the wife of the man who wrote the book and she was happy with the movie
