Interesting trivia: 1. The line "Not 'til you're twelve, son" took at least 45 takes to film. 2. Julie Dawn Cole (Veruca Salt) doesn't like chocolate in real life. 3. Michael Böllner (Augustus Gloop) had a hard time saying the line, "It's going to cost him a fortune in fudge" because the "dg" sound doesn't exist in German. 4. Filming was done in Germany, and right after the production finished, the same sound stage was used for another classic film: the 1972 musical "Cabaret." 5. The actor playing Winkelmann (the kid telling everybody about the contest) is Peter Stuart, the son of the director Mel Stuart. 6. Jack Albertson, who played Grandpa Joe, won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1968 for the movie "The Subject Was Roses." One of the other nominees that year was Gene Wilder, nominated for "The Producers."

[@theeorehekchannel]

I seen a video of the filming locations and the Bucket house was Torn down after filming, it was just built for the movie i believe

Grew up in the 80s and we saw this sooo many times. It wasn’t until I was an adult when I read the book. Cheer up Charlie is my favorite song but they’re all great. Happy to see you both enjoy it.

[@g.r.rent.345]

The whole cane scene and the boat tunnel scene was improvised by Gene Wilder and no one knew so the reactions were real

[@davidcopple8071]

I've probably seen this movie more than most people. When I was a kid my father ran the Harlem theater in Austin, Texas. It was a single screen indoor movie theater. We played this particular movie for three weeks. And as a kid I had nothing better to do than sit in the auditorium all day watching whatever movie we happened to be playing at the time. We played this movie four times a day for three weeks. So I could almost say all the characters lines for every scene. All my friends thought it was great that I just watched movies all day. But they didn't understand just how boring it was to rewatch a movie several times a day for weeks sometimes. However this is still one of my favorites.

[@JohnSmith-pw9lk]

The guy with the knifes is a Knife grinder in the past people got there knifes sharpened by people like that instead of buying new knifes from china.

[@PTaylor1087]

This movie always brings out the child in people. It's a classic film.

[@jessquinn6106]

The beginning with eth knife sharpener, the teacher, the candy shop owner and Grandpa's story, all that was pretty much like the urban myths we have today. "Don't go into the old house" "There is a ghost on the certain part of the road" "People says a Sasquatch stole a child in those woods" "The old woman in that house is a witch." All that kind of stuff. How fact becomes fantasy.

[@HankyDank]

I went to elementary school in the 90's and I swear we watched this movie every year. I don't know why, but we did.

[@rammsteinrulz16]

The Johnny Depp version is the remake, the Timothee Chalamet version that JUST dropped is the prequel, but this is the real OG. Its funny that in some ways the remake is even more of a fever dream than the OG but it's actually more accurate and more faithful to the source material, the book by Raold Dahl.

[@jamessimmons6921]

The only musical I ever loved as a kid. Maybe my favorite movie as a kid

[@CassieMichael]

The reason Grandpa Joe knew about what happened to Willy Wonka and the spies is because, in the book, Joe used to work for Wonka in his first candy shop on Cherry Street, then later in the factory. He was one of the workers that were fired, even though he was completely loyal to Wonka.

[@daveking9393]

I remember I read the book before I ever saw the movie so it was really special except that It didn't follow the book but that didn't matter because it was still cool in itself. . Now when you see the new remake then you'll see the way the book was written... I've only seen the first remake which is fantastic. I don't know about the second...

[@kevinmarshall854]

This movie was my favorite when I was growing up in the 70's. I was born in 1967 and when I watched this movie for the first time it not only amazed me but made me laugh so incredibly much. Gene Wilder was made perfectly for the character of WILLY WONKA. The remakes can't even come close to the original movie. I am so happy that you both got to watch this movie. It is one that can never be made any better.

[@charlesc7950]

I was 3 when this movie came out. I'm 56 now and still get excited when Charlie finds the golden ticket.

[@treeless62]

Gene Wilder talked about how he would get recognized by children and their parents. He shared how the children would give him hugs. He said that that was anywhere he traveled in the world.

[@mtdreams72]

Miles City Montana. I grew up 85 miles away. Home of the world famous Bucking Horse Sale. Also. One of my favorite movies ever!!!

It's just as magical today as it was when I was a child. The Wizard of Oz feels exactly the same way for me.

Gene Wilder is the best "yeller" in film history. This and Young Frankenstein (especially) are perfect examples

[@michelledotson7130]

I'm late watching this but I live in Pa and at Hershey Park they have Hershey's Chocolate World which is a chocolate factory tour . They used to have real tours a block away at the actual factory but stopped for sanitary reasons. The simulated factory is a train ride It shows the story from the cocoa bean to the finished product and it smells like chocolate all the way through. You would love it Asia and they give you chocolate at the end of the ride and the tour is free. I used to take my son when he was little

[@DianaWoods-n7r]

Love you two! Y'all- I was six years old when this movie came out. My mom and my aunt took my cousins and me to see it. It was pure magic! The ride on the Wonkatania was scary!😮 😅💜💜💜

You must put Hershey PA on your vacation list! Love the chocolate, Hersheypark, concerts, etc. The whole town smells of chocolate!

[@richardhansen3703]

" The guy that had the knives" is actually a tinkerer. It was not strange in those times to see someone with that kind of stuff hanging on their cart. They would buy and sell kitchen supplies and utensils and repair and sharpen people's kitchen utensils. They traveled from door to door, offering their services.

Gene Wilder singing Pure Imagination is the perfect song to represent being a kid.

This is the Gene Wilder that i know i before I watched the ones he did with Richard Pryor in silver streak (1976) and see no devil hear no evil (1987) but man him and Richard Pryor became a great duo together i know they did two movies together one came out in 1981 and the last one they did in 1991

"Anything to keep you smiling"- thank you, BJ, I needed that laugh (it's been such a rough weekend I can't wait to go back to work tomorrow)! And I hope one day you guys visit Hershey, PA, Chocolate World/Hersheypark! Asia needs to get her fill of chocolate!! The actor who played Charlie is like a real Charlie Bucket- he turned away from a Hollywood career and lives a totally normal life as a veterinarian. It's just what Charlie would do.

[@wickey024]

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is with Johnny Depp. It sticks a little closer to the book. It's a little bizarre, but not terrible. The new movie Wonka is a prequel and is really good. Very much in the style of the original movie.

[@Yugioh420]

I think you missed the candy story clerk say with all the tickets found I Don't have to hide them any more. He likely hid his stock of wonka bars and was selling them to his regulars only.

[@bruja_cat]

The tunnel scene is still objectively so scary

[@rpg7287]

Asia thinks the Golden Ticket song is the best in this movie. It’s a good song; but, the best song in the movie is definitely Veruca Salt’s song. It is fantastic! My favorite part of the whole movie.

[@wordygirlandco]

🤎This is the best version of the Ronald Dahl book and I am with you Asia. This was my favorite too as a kid. There was also Yummy Wonka chocolates in the 70s. They had Oompas(they were like big peanut butter M&M, Wonka Bars🍫 and of course EverIasting Gobstoppers. Las Vegas has a Wonka Store at the Hershey Store. I used to love the 4 grand parents in 1 bed. Also.....ther is a cool 90s band called Veruka Salt......they named it after Veruka Salt the super spoiled girl in the book/movie. You should react to them Seether is their biggest hit.

[@MichaelMcglynn-ht2xt]

He also starred in blazing saddles

[@robertmbrown4493]

My favorite song, and I like Golden Ticket 2, is If you want to see paradise.

[@daveking9393]

[@jo2extreme874]

Thats Fronk-in-steeen...lol... Movie was Young Frankenstein a Mel Brooks film

[@kennethturner8290]

Oompa Loompa rap battles. I always had the impression everything in the movie was pre-determined. Wonka just brought in the bad children to make an example of them.

[@mannys4036]

They did a remake with Johnny Depp but it was really bad; like a steampunk version but worst. I always think people should see it at least once and form their own opinion. Another amazing childhood movie is "The Secret Garden" and there are threee or four versions. The original was in black and while but there is the one with Maggie Smith that I enjoyed but they are all worth seeing. I love watching children's reactions to seeing it for the first time.

[@Sledg0matic]

Burton's movie was also more faithful to the book. Roald Dahl hated this movie, and loved to wallow in his bitter childhood, so refused to allow the sequel to be made. I'm sure he would despise the prequel even more.

[@courtneywallace871]

One of my all time favorite movies! I remember my dad (who passed in 1975) taking me to see it when it first came out. The remake (with Johnny Depp) sucks. While closer to the book (and I’ve read the book a ton of times) word for word, this version is way closer in spirit. The new prequel with Timothy Chalomet is ok, but I probably wouldn’t watch it again.

[@DaemonKeido]

@@Gravydog316 It's a good way to showcase your skill is actually worth a damn via the knives being sharp and plain to see so. He could also be delivering them back to the clients who might have flagged him down on the street and then told them the address to take the knives back to.

[@starbrand3726]

@@Gravydog316 He would go around collecting the dull knives from customers, then sharpen them, and return them after, sometimes the same day, sometimes the next day. Remember, you are talking about a simpler time when society wasn't so...disposable. People didn't just throw things out and buy new ones. Got a hole in your shoe? Get the shoe repaired. TV stopped working? Call a TV repair man who actually came to the house and fixed it. Socks darned, clothes mended, watches fixed. Dirty cloth diapers collected, washed and returned. I remember my mother would gather all of our dirty clothes in two or three laundry bags. The Laundry man would come, take the bags and she would pay him (I don't remember how much.) The next day four square packages wrapped in heavy brown paper were delivered to our door. Inside were our clothes, washed ironed and folded neatly.

[@possiblepilotdeviation5791]

One of those rare "kid" films I didn't see until I was an adult, but still loved. It has a timelessness and magic about it the remakes have never been able to recreate.

[@ScientificallyStupid]

I feel like part of the timeless quality it has has more to do with the fact that it was filmed in Europe than the time period in which it was made. There are so many parts of Europe that are so old (in comparison with what we think of as "old" here in the United States) and almost unchanging that they seem removed from any specific time period. If we went to Munich, I bet a lot of it would look the same today as it did then.

I watched this as a kid in the 70's. I've watched it almost as many times as I've watched The Wizard Of Oz and The Sound Of Music. They've all been on tv yearly for decades. In the book I believe Grandpa Joe used to work at the chocolate factory either before he was injured in war or after. I know the reason he's in that bed was supposedly because of his war injury and then depression took over and only grew worse after the factory closed. That's why he's been bedridden for 20 years..of curse he's also supposed to be about 90 years old. Apparently the only happy things in his life are Charlie and good memories from the chocolate factory.

That old man with the cart was a tinker. They were simple metal workers who would travel around repairing pots and pans, repairing and sharpening knives and such. If you needed a special metal piece made, like a custom hinge or flange, you would talk to the tinker.

He was a Cutler. aka knife sharpener. So, while both cutlers and tinkerers may be skilled craftsmen who work with their hands, they typically focus on different types of objects and use different techniques and materials in their work. Tinkerer/Tinker is more or a repair man.

As a grown-up, some of the scenes really hit different. Wonka's sarcasm when the kids break the rules. His frustration when it looks like his big plan blew up in his face. His utter joy when Charlie proves himself at the end. It's not just a beautiful fantasy for kids, it's a an adult's dream too.

Thinking about it adds a bit more to his 'truth or lies' just like the roll at the start.

Gene Wilder actually yelled at “Charlie” as an improvised scene to get an actual shocked reaction from him. It worked.

[@ToABrighterFuture]

They DID rehearse it, mind you, but Gene rehearsed it as kind of "disappointed," before performing it as "angry." Peter Ostrum's reaction is indeed genuine. The story goes that Gene really, REALLY wasn't looking forward to doing that, as he and Peter had become friends during filming.

This is my absolute favorite movie period! This is my FAVORITE movie!!! I love it. This movie always makes me happy. I love Gene as Mr Wonka. His eyes were always so sweet and kind. Gene is the ONLY Willie Wonka I will ever acknowledge.

Growing up in the late 70's early 80's, my parents were managers of a Stuckey's store. Stuckey's had their own brand of candy. We lived on the property. I literally had truckloads of candy being delivered to my house. (Ocassionally we had to help unload the trucks 😂)

Who doesn’t love that chocolatey credit sequence, classic!

[@KellyMeding24]

I'm an 80s baby and this is a movie I grew up watching. It was always coming on cable on some channel or another, and we'd watch it every single time. And you're right, it is total wish fulfillment for kids. Personally, I wouldn't bother with the other movies. The Depp one is a remake, and the other is supposed to be a prequel. But this movie is an untouchable classic.

[@robbiecook6530]

The whole scene of where Mr Wonka comes out limping with his cane before he falls down, rolls and springs back up again, was all completely improvised. Plus that was also the first time the child actors saw Gene Wilder too. They didn't see him until he came out them doors. So their confused and amazed facial reactions were genuine.

"NO, STOP, DON'T, COMEBACK....." FUNNY EVERY TIME😂😂😂😂😂

[@cammygram1]

I saw this when I was 11. Thank you two for taking me back and putting a smile on my face as I had in 1971!

I’ve always sung the oompa lumpa songs. “What do you get when your kid is a Brat!” 😂

[@bigonemaryland]

One of the very few reactions to leave in the line "So shines a good deed in a weary world" after Charlie returns the everlasting gobstopper. It's beautiful, and it gets me every time.

[@scottboswell7235]

Absolute classic!!!

[@kenpaden]

Asia!!! you simply must see the Wizard of Oz!! For people in my age range its our Willy Wonka. I watched it with my brothers and sister setting on the couch hiding behind my Dad when necessary. I think when you watch a great movie as a child a little of the magic of that moment stays with you. There are two more Wonka movies, one starring Johnny Depp came out in 2005, thought it was pretty good, the new one released last year stars Timothy Chalamette which I have not seen.

As a 9 year old in 1971, I can testify: Fantastic movie for kids, and such a classic. After we saw it, my sister and I bought the Charlie books by Roald Dahl and took turns reading them out loud to each other.

[@andrewsawyer1375]

This is a movie I watch anytime it's on. I crack up. BTW, the movie you were referring to was Young Frankenstein with Gene Wilder. If you ever travel to South Florida, Hoffmans Chocolate is a place where you can watch them make chocolate & it's fun in December there in Lake Worth area.

[@JB-Deadskins]

The movie you saw Gene Wilder in was Young Frankenstein

[@PsalmS-vi8zl]

On my DVD of this film it has a Special Features part you can watch and get more background on this film. The bratty Verruca was named after an ugly skin growth called a" Verruca" - that is hilarious. Way back in my childhood, this film only came on television once a year. There was so much excitement in the days leading up to the broadcast - it really was an annual, special event. Thanks for the reaction - the ending still brings a tear to my eyes.

[@guitarman8462]

In Family Guy they make fun of this movie , but instead of chocolate it's. ..BEER !!!😂 Peter goes to a beer 🍺 factory 😂😂😂😂

[@NikkiKNuvo]

[@guitarman8462]
