Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)



Another 70's movie that got a lot of airplay on tv in the early 80's and also got a lot of kids fiending for candy. I was one of them. I can remember begging my father to make frequent stops at "the candy store" (which was really just a convenience store, but with a pretty decent sized candy section) where I would indulge in sugary evils like gobstoppers, bottlecaps, fun dip, nerds, bonkers, now & laters, bazooka joe gum, sugar daddys, swedish fish, and countless others.

One scene that needs to be mentioned is that freaky ass boat ride scene where it seemed like they ate some candy laced with LSD. Then they start seeing stuff like eyeballs and chicken's heads getting chopped off...............isn't this a kid's movie? You gotta love it.
