I remember watching the movie "Willie Wonka" as a kid. I think I still have it on video.  Yes,  VHS-video.  I didn't realize though that the movie came out in 1971; that's the year I was born.  So it was an old movie by the time I saw it.  That's been 40 years ago.  The cast is now reunited minus star Gene Wilder age 77 who, of course, played Willie Wonka, owner of the the chocolate fact
