When beautiful, but naïve, understudy Christine finds herself headlining the opera house she becomes an instant sensation, adored not just by the audiences but also by the Phantom, a disfigured musical genius who lurks in the darkest recesses of the theatre. Andrew Lloyd Webber's adaptation of the classic tale gets its movie debut, and a big, glossy, shiny, singy thing it is too.

WILLY WONKA AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (1971)
CertificationU Our Rating
Roald Dahl's story about a poor boy who wins a trip round a magic chocolate factory and, like all Dahl stories, this is a moral tale with a distincly dark side to it. Gene Wilder is wonderfully cynical and sadistic as Mr Wonka and some of the sets are very psychedelic. This film is a lighter semi-musical version of the book - great for the kids.
