Family adventure based on the novel by Roald Dahl. The film centres
around an eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), and
Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor
family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.
Most nights in the Bucket home, dinner is a watered-down bowl of
cabbage soup, which young Charlie gladly shares with his mother
(Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah Taylor) and both pairs of
grandparents. They all live in a tiny, tumbledown, drafty old house
but it is filled with love. Every night, the last thing Charlie
sees from his window is the great factory, and he drifts off to
sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly fifteen
years, no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of
the factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet,
mysteriously, great quantities of chocolate are still being made
and shipped to shops all over the world. One day Willy Wonka makes
a momentous announcement. He will open his famous factory and
reveal 'all of its secrets and magic' to five lucky children who
find golden tickets hidden inside five randomly selected Wonka
chocolate bars. When Charlie finds some money on the snowy street
and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious
Fudgemallow Delight he finds a golden ticket. The family decides
that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) should be the one to accompany
Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Once inside, Charlie
is dazzled by one amazing sight after another.

Douglas Booth and Charles Dance star in this three-part BBC
adaptation of the classic crime novel by Agatha Christie. When ten
strangers are invited to stay on an isolated island off the
Devonshire coast, they find that the owners, Mr and Mrs Owen, are
nowhere to be seen. As, gradually, each member of the party is
killed, the remaining holidaymakers become increasingly suspicious
of their fellow islanders...
Two film versions of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel
collected together in one set. In 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate
Factory' (1971), directed by Mel Stuart, young Charlie Bucket
(Peter Ostrum) wins one of the coveted 'Golden Tickets' from a
Wonka Bar that allows its holder to take a trip around the
eccentric Willy Wonka's (Gene Wilder) Chocolate Factory. Charlie
and the rest of the winners find themselves in a magical world of
chocolate rivers, Oompa Loompas, everlasting gobstoppers, lickable
wall-paper, golden egg-laying geese and chilling tales to warn
children not to misbehave. Roald Dahl wrote the screenplay from his
own book. In Tim Burton's expansive remake, 'Charlie and the
Chocolate Factory' (2005), Freddie Highmore plays Charlie, whilst
Johnny Depp takes on the role of Wonka.
