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.
Box set containing all five films from the hugely popular 'Herbie'
series. In 'The Love Bug' (1969), Herbie, a Volkswagen with a mind
of its own, gets involved with a race car driver (Dean Jones),
after a stuffy rival (David Tomlinson) takes a haughty attitude
towards the car. In 'Herbie Rides Again' (1974), Herbie tries to
help an old woman who is trying to prevent a property developer
from building a skyscraper on her land. In 'Herbie Goes to Monte
Carlo' (1977), a spy ring hide a huge diamond in Herbie's gas tank
while he is racing in a Paris to Monte Carlo race. Herbie also
finds time to fall in love with a Lancia. In 'Herbie Goes Bananas'
(1980), the little VW is being driven to Brazil to to race in Rio,
but finds several slapstick obstacles in his way. Finally, in
'Herbie Fully Loaded' (2005), the world's wackiest Volkswagen is
back in action. Maggie Peyton (Lindsay Lohan), the first Peyton to
graduate from college receives a graduation present from her dad
(Michael Keaton). But instead of a 250Z, she instead receives a
Volkswagon Bug (Herbie) who soon takes over all of Maggie's
driving. After having her best friend Kevin (Justin Long) restore
Herbie, she goes to the car show and beats all-time racer Trip
Murphy (Matt Dillon). He demands a rematch and attempts to discover
the secret behind Herbie. After losing a big race to Trip because
of Herbie's stubbornness, Maggie enters the Daytona 500. But will
Herbie win?

Classic comic espionage caper from Disney studios starring Peter
Ustinov and Derek Nimmo. Lord Southmere (Nimmo) hides a top-secret
microfilm containing the formula for the mysterious 'Lotus X' in a
dinosaur skeleton at the Natural History Museum in London after
narrowly escaping from a gang of ruthless Chinese spies. When he
realises that the spies are following him, he instructs his former
nanny Hettie (Helen Hayes) to retrieve the microfilm. Southmere is
then promptly recaptured by the head spy, Hnup Wan (Peter Ustinov),
while the resourceful Hettie assembles a group of fellow nannies to
help her search for the microfilm. But the nannies are up against
the cunning of the evil spy gang, who will stop at nothing to get
to the prized Lotus X before Hettie and her helpers.
