There are few family movies which have stood the test of time quite like Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. Now, 43 years later, many of the main cast are all grown up!

Filmed in Munich, Germany in 1970 (because it was a better environment for the setting and cheaper than filming in America), the film didn't actually perform that well at the box office, despite positive reviews. Luckily during the '80s and mid '90s, thanks to VHS re-releases, the movie achieved cult status.
